Fabio Capello has today been unveiled as the new England boss by the FA and Brian Barwick. The FA Chairman labelled Capello as 'Winner with a capital W', whilst Capello called his new job "his dream come true".
"I am very proud and honoured to be the England manager. I have wanted this job for a long time," Capello said in English before taking questions in Italian via a translator.
"It's an honour to be the coach, and it's a dream come true... I am convinced this is a great team and can go right to the top.
Barwick responded: "We knew the next appointment had to be somebody of world-class status, a man with a strong personality, vast experience, a coach used to handling big players, big matches and big in-match situations, a man who is tactically astute, adaptable, of proven pedigree, mature and who can handle a big job with the pressures that go with it. A winner with a capital 'W'."
"This is a big challenge and a difficult one for me," Capello said. "I will not guide a team on a weekly basis as you do at a club. The England national team seems to have lost the determination and grit that they had in the past."
