Fabio Capello - England Manager

The FA have been told by Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger that they have a winner in Fabio Capello.

The UK newspapers are noting that Fabio Capello will not take any s**t from the press or fans. Here is a Capello quote on the matter:

Can you imagine McClaren or Sven saying that!

You’ll never please all of the football fans in England. Fabio Capello isn’t the ideal choice for some. Here are a few solid reasons why he should be England manager:

• Capello has a better club record than Sven-Goran Eriksson.
• Capello has an attitude to ‘win by any means possible’.
• He won’t play nice with the media.
• He has handled the highest of pressures before (Real Madrid).
• Capello WILL shout at the players unlike Sven.
• His experience in Serie A & La Liga will be valuable.

Feel free to comment and add any reasons for and against.

The former manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has stated that Fabio Capello is the right man for the England job “Fabio is a very good man and manager. His record speaks very clear. He has won titles in Italy.”

Sven and Capello have met 14 times in the Italian league. Capello has won 8, drawn 2 and only lost 2!

Italian Fabio Capello, the former Real Madrid & AC Milan manager, has flown out to Heathrow today after having talks with the FA in London, England. Brian Barwick and Trevor Brooking . The talks have been “extremely positive and without any problems”.
