I see it's only taken the FA 40 years to follow the lead shown by Charlton and appoint an Italian
manager. We had an Italian international, in the form of Eddie Firmani, in the Valley hot seat from
1967 to 1970. Eddie is an example of a truly international player. Born in South Africa, he [...]
It's looking 99% certain that Fabio Capello will become the new manager of England. Capello, as
everyone knows, is a proven, top class manager - winning league trophies in Italy and Spain plus
the inevitable Champions League title. But is Capello really a good choice for a nation that rates
itself way above the realities of their football.
So following on from the rather lengthy, but ultimately pointless, consultation process which saw
'Wallace' of 'Wallace and Gromit' lookalike fame AKA Brian Barwick, talking to everyone about who
should be the next England manager we have arrived at Fabio "where's my coat?" Capello. News of
which has been greeted with a large degree of scepticism and dismay from among others the League
Managers Association and former England players alike including Steve Coppell, Paul Ince, Gerry
Francis and Tony Adams.

61-year-old Italian, Fabio Capello now appears firm favourite to take over as England manager after
José Mourinho had an epiphany and decided it'd be best to rule himself out.
However, in spite of the huge reputation Capello has deservedly established, would he really be the
best choice for the job?
As an England fan, I couldn't be happier about the hiring of Fabio Capello.
And even more surprisingly, the FA seems to have gone about it in the right way.
Jose Mourinho needed to be interviewed. I'm not surprised that in the end he didn't want the job,
but he could have been an excellent gaffer for the national team.
OK, so The F.A sacked Steve 'What-Do-I-Do-Now' McClaren for proving he is a true Englishman when he
snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against Croatia. Not a real surprise, to be honest. And,
of course, the usual high profile casualties of the last round of top level sackings are being
considered for the job - Capello, Mourinho, Lippi - you know the names.

Capello a poner un poco de orden a la selección de la rosa. Una selección con buenos jugadores,
no tan buenos como ellos creen, pero...
Its been a long time but once again, I feel positive about the English national teams prospects.
The appointment of Fabio Capello means that maybe at long last, we have a manager who can get the
best from our players. There is no doubting Capello's CV. He played international football for his
country and won 4 league titles.
