Asafe choice for England. Capello is the right man to bring them to the World Cup, the question is if his style of play (defensive minded) is really what the English FA and fans are looking to see.</p>
Well after waiting so many years without a cup, hopefully it doesn't matter to them how he wins it.</p> But he's the man to do it, with lot of experience.</p>
He is expected to get these assistants:</p> <font size="-2" face="verdana, Geneva, sans-serif"> •Franco Baldini Former Roma sporting director Baldini is likely to be appointed as assistant manager but will occupy a position similar to that of Tord Grip under Sven-Goran Eriksson in a hands-off, advisory role. </font></p> <font size="-2" face="verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">•Italo Galbiati Galbiati is expected to fill a role next to Capello in the Wembley dug-out, operating in a motivational and coaching role more similar to that of - dare we say it - Steve McClaren under Eriksson. </font> <font size="-2" face="verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">•Massimo Neri Fitness trainer at Juventus and Real Madrid during Capello's spells and an integral member of the team due to the manager's reliance on physical strength and speed. </font></p> <font size="-2" face="verdana, Geneva, sans-serif">•Franco Tancredi Goalkeeping coach and Roma legend from his days between the sticks who represented Italy at the 1986 World Cup and has been with `Don Fabio' throughout nearly all of his managerial career.</font></p>
Im sure he'll dobetter than Mclaren that for sure, but Mourinho would have been the ideal candidate in my choice. Most of englandsproblems are attitude and ego problems, not so much the technical side of the game, the skill is there.</p>
Well the defense is missing? (if I'm correct)</p> Capello said in an interview that England players seem to have a mental block and can't get any further in the cups. Lets see if he takes that away.</p> I think he will.</p>
