Fabio Capello
Fabio Capello – distinguished football manager (and former Italian international), having won many league and cup titles, including Serie A, La Liga and the Champions League. Fabio Capello has a reputation for being totalitarian in training and for shunning ‘pretty football’ for the sake of results. He also has one of the most impressive art collections in Italy. He currently manages the England national team (Fabio Capello profile).
Fabio Capello Backs ‘Arry And Big Sam For The England Job
With the date of his departure already set in stone, England manager Fabio Capello has already vowed that his £6 million-per-annum contract with the FA will be his last in football – a final appendix to his glistening 47-year career that is already looking more like a high-rolling pension than a swansong of any substance….
Harry Redknapp On FA ‘Long List’ To Become Next England Manager
Word is filtering down from highly-prominent FA sources this morning that Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is a leading contender to replace incumbent Fabio Capello as England manager when the Italian’s contract expires in 2012 – news which is, at best, another one in the eye for the gods of karmic retribution and, at worst, a…
The Curious Case of England
It was a coming together of two world powers, so to speak. An England side that seems to have lost their way took on a France side that seems to be finding theirs. Both were still in the process of trying to blot out the same caustic memory of a depressing World Cup. Since June’s…
Andy Carroll: How ‘Criminal’ Is ‘Too Criminal’ For England?
Newcastle’s tempestuous target man Andy Carroll has made considerably more appearances in the dock than he ever has for his national side, but the 21-year-old has been handed a conditional reprieve by England manager Fabio Capello and, as such, is set to collect his first senior cap this evening. Speaking in a pre-game media conference…
Jay Bothroyd’s Dream Is England’s Nightmare
A decade ago, tempestuous teenager Jay Bothroyd was told by Arsenal’s head of youth development, Liam Brady that he would never play for the club again after the surly young striker hurled his shirt at coach Don Howe upon being substituted during an U19s match. Brady’s vow was upheld by the club and a fairly…
Bendtner Threatens To Quit Arsenal As Chelsea Chase ‘Ronaldo’
Arsenal’s vainglorious striker Niklas Bendtner has never been one for the subtle understatement, lest we forget that it was only a few months ago he claimed himself to be the ‘greatest goalscorer in the world’ during an interview with FIFA.com – haughty declarations which he has since tempered (he now ‘plans to become’ the greatest…
Why Theo Walcott Is One Tactical Change Away From Greatness
He’s been highly-rated for some time, but Theo Walcott is finally starting to show some steady progress. With several goals already in the bag for the campaign, Walcott has developed an appetite for shooting rather than crossing and with fresh demands for a central role now tickling the ears of manager Arsene Wenger, there is…
Is Andy Carroll Finally Ready For England?
A rambunctious start to his Premier League career saw all and sundry begin to tout Newcastle target man Andy Carroll for a call-up to the national side which, given the straw-clutching at the time, seemed like more of a denigration of manager Fabio Capello‘s senior front-line options than a fully fledged endorsement of the rangy…
Ancelotti On Potentially Replacing Capello: “Why Not?”
Chelsea’s Carlo Ancelotti has indicated he may be interested in replacing Fabio Capello as England manager in 2012. Capello will step down from the international job after the Euro 2012 championships, and even though Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Redknapp is favourite to replace, Ancelotti see’s no reason why foreign managers like himself shouldn’t manage England. Speaking…
Why It’s High Time For England To Abandon The 4-4-2
Along with risking salmonella from the matchday catering, a jaunty acceptance of xenophobia and the now-annual day-shift prostitute scandals, the boring old 4-4-2 formation is a staple of the English game. It’s rigid uniformity and lack of extraneous bells-and-whistles hark back to the days of the empire, when a chap maintained that stiff upper lip…
