The Italian Job

It is official. Former Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello has been appointed as the new England manager.


His appointment was met with much criticism by English/British managers citing it's not healthy for the growth of future English managers. General opinion wants an Englishman to succeed Steve McClaren, however I believe the appointment of Capello was a wise decision.


As the FA of England said, they needed a "world class" manager and Capello is anything less than world class. His record speaks volumes for the man who thrives on pressure & delivered what is expected from him.


Just look at Real Madrid before Capello came along. The spanish giants was sacking one manager after another, like they were sacking a busboy. He managed to get the team together, played cohesively with great discipline & under tremendous circumstances & intense pressure from the Madrid board & fans, Capello brought the the Spanish La Liga title to Madrid.

















And how did they thanked him-by sacking the man. Ungrateful lot.


I think that Fabio Capello is the perfect candidate for the England manager. And I do hope that England will be transformed under his strict guidance & management.


Let's not talk about winning the World Cup. It would be a travesty for England with the kind of quality players they have to not even qualify for it.
