Man in the News: Fabio Capello

The Russian Football Union (RFU) has appointed Italian Fabio Capello as the new national team manager. The former England coach will be hoping to revive the fortunes of a promising Russian squad after a disappointing Euro 2012, where they crashed out at the group stages.

Who’s to blame for the craptacularness of the England team? Fabio Capello? Matthew Upson? The Fifa official who appointed David Blunkett as a linesman?  None of them. I blame Taylor. Not Graham Taylor, but Frederick Winslow Taylor.

Fabio Capello plans to add another English coach to his back-room staff as the England manager looks to the future after his team's woeful performance at the World Cup.Capello revealed the move at a meeting with the Club England board on Thursday, when the Italian also vowed to carry out a review into England's second round exit in South Africa.England won just one of their four matches at the World Cup and were thrashed 4-1 by Germany in the last 16, but Capello has signalled his determination to learn from that chastening experience.

Fabio Capello is to remain in his post as England manager despite the team's World Cup flop, the Football Association announced Friday.Capello's position had been called into question after England were knocked out of the World Cup at the last 16 stage by arch-rivals Germany in an embarrassing 4-1 defeat.But the FA, dismissing talk they might sack the Italian, said Capello would stay as national team manager.Immediately after England's World Cup exit, Capello said he'd been told by the FA they would need two weeks to decide if they wanted him to stay on.

England coach Fabio Capello plans to hold talks with Wayne Rooney over his behaviour outside a nightclub last week and will not tolerate any of his players stepping out of line.With England producing such a dismal performance at the World Cup, Capello has a big enough task on his hands to win back the support of the nation as they prepare for the start of the European Championship qualifying campaign.The last thing the Italian coach needs right now is his players attracting the wrong headlines on the front pages, especially a key player like Rooney.

England coach Fabio Capello said on Wednesday that he believes it would make sense to stage the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in January, given the soaring summer temperatures in the Gulf state.Capello feels that the summer conditions in Qatar would make it difficult to keep players relaxed between matches."It will not be easy for the players to stay all day in the hotel -- you can't run around the hotel," explained the Italian.

Fabio Capello admitted he was considering his position as England coach after his side crashed out of the World Cup following a 4-1 defeat by Germany.The Italian is under contract with the English Football Association until 2012 but his reputation has taken a battering as a result of England's poor performances in South Africa, triggering speculation he will either quit or be pushed out.Capello, who has been in charge since January 2008, said he would make a decision after talking to the chairman of the FA.
