Fabio Capello English national coach

Fabio Capello 63 years old (18 june 1946 ) in a forme professional midfielder player in italian football manager,as well as recently named as the next coach of England's national team on 14 december 2007.

Capello has the distinction of winning the domestic league title with every club he has coached throughout his career. In his first five seasons as a manager he won four Serie A titles with Milan, where he also won the 1993–94 UEFA Champions League, defeating Barcelona 4-0 in a memorable final. He then spent a year at Real Madrid, where he won the La Liga title at his first attempt, and in 2001 led Roma  to their first league title in 18 years. Capello also won two titles at Juventus (which were later stripped after the Calciopoli scandal), and in 2006 returned to Real Madrid, where he won another La Liga title. Overall he has won a major league championship in seven (or nine, counting in the two revoked titles with Juventus) of his 16 seasons as a coach, and is one of the few managers to claim championship victories in four major European cities: Milan, Madrid, Rome, and Turin.

As a coach, his teams are known for playing very strong defensively, which often leads to wins but is not always popular with the fans due to the less exciting style of play. He often becomes a target for fans of former clubs because of public disputes with players, or for not playing certain popular individuals. He has also been accused of privately convincing players to leave with him once he moves to another team. In his most recent appointment at Real Madrid, he was a controversial figure for his clashes with David Beckham and Ronaldo. Despite his success at turning Real Madrid into an elite team, he was fired at the conclusion of the 2007 season.

Fabio Capello is somewhat of a disciplinarian, who prefers players who respect the coach and have the right mental focus over playboys and controversial figures. He generally plays a variation of the 4-4-2 formation, but is willing to adapt depending on the talent available as well as the competition, and demands the highest level of physical fitness from his players.

Capello has been married for over 40 years, and is an art buff with a collection valued at arond £10million. His son, Pier Filippo, is a lawyer who also acts as his agent.

His next coaching challenge, which he recently announced will be his last, will be to help England’s national team recover from several recent disappointing showings, in order to quality for and achieve success in the 2010 World Cup. He has suggested that the players have a “mental block” due to the pressure of playing for England, and in his new role, psychology will play as big a role as tactics or technique.
