Fabio Capello, the new England Football team manager - can he save us?

Football is at a crisis in England after we have not qualified for the European Cup, due to take place in 2008. Fabio Capello has been brought in to get the England team back in line, but is he up for the job?

Football fans all over England are hoping finally we have found a manager to help us win our national games.

Fabio Capello, born 18 June 1946 in Italy, is a former professional player turned manager. He will start his day-to-day work as the next manager of England on 7 January 2008.

At Real Madrid, he was criticized for not playing David Beckham and Ronaldo. After being appointed England manager on 14 December 2007 Capello announced the role would be the last of his managerial career. Is it a positive thing our new manager is retiring from the role anyway?

Fabio’s former playing career was spent at Roma, AC Milan and Juventus to name a few.

Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger and Rafa Benitez have voiced their support for Fabio, and this will be important that he has backing and support from team managers.

Here is Fabio at the offical England press conference.
