Fabio Capello has been appointed the new coach of England. The FA have given Capello a four and a half year contract worth around £6 million a year, and Capello will bring in an Italian coaching team to help England become a dominant force in football again.
Capello will start his job on the 7th of January.
Brian Barwick said: 'I am delighted that Fabio Capello has agreed to become England manager,' said FA chief executive Brian Barwick.
'When we set out to recruit the new manager, we said we were committed to appointing a world-class candidate. In Fabio Capello we have that man.
'Fabio is a winner. His record over the last two decades speaks for itself.
'At every club he has managed Fabio has won the league title and Sir Trevor Brooking and I were left in no doubt of his passion and commitment to bring that success to the England team.'
Capello's contract takes in not just the 2010 World Cup qualifiers but the campaign to reach Euro 2012 as well. His first official game in charge will be against Switzerland at Wembley on February 6.
