Fabio Capello open to Chelsea job

Ex-England manager Fabio Capello has revealed his desire to take over the managerial reigns at Chelsea.

Current Blues boss Jose Mourinho is under immense pressure following his side's 3-1 thumping at the hands of Liverpool in the Premier League.

It has been recently reported that the Portuguese head coach could be shown the exit door, should the fans protest against his presence in the dug-out.

Capello is one of the big names linked with the Blues role, and the 69-year-old is available after being axed as Russia boss in July.

My future at Chelsea? Why not?" the Italian told Gazzetta dello Sport. "Right now, I am in Russia, in Moscow. For now, I have received no offers, but if something interesting arrives, why not?" 

Mourinho will not take part in Chelsea's next league fixture at Stoke City after he received a one-match Stadium ban for his ruthless remarks following the club's loss at West Ham United last month.
