England Preparing for Fabio Capello


Fabio Capello is expected to be announced as the England head coach within days after Brian Barwick, the Football Association chief executive, installed him as first choice for the job. The Times can reveal that preliminary contact has been made through intermediaries and, with José Mourinho out of the running, the pair are expected to meet this week.




This is an excellent choice. Quite simply, Capello is one of the top gaffers in the world. Of course, Sven was one of the top gaffers in the world when England got him. But I think The Fabio has the intensity that Sven (and McClaren) lack, and that could be the difference. -Ed.
