Capello: My dream to manage England

Thursday, 23, Mar 2006 09:21

Juventus coach Fabio Capello says it is his 'dream' to manage the England team as the FA continues its searches for a new coach.

Capello has won the Champions League and league titles in Spain and Italy, and wants to manage England one day.

The Italian coach has admitted his interest in the England job, but claims he will not be in the running yet.

Capello told Italian newspaper L'Expresso: "In the next three years I am thinking of stopping as a club coach. In three years I will stop coaching here, then I would like to realise the dream I've always had - England.

"After that I'll probably retire, maybe to Pantelleria (an island near Sicily) where a little while ago I bought a place."

Former Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari is the last remaining foreign coach on the FA's shortlist for the top job at Soho Square but reports are suggesting he is unlikely to land the job.

It is thought that the officials at the FA, lead by chief executive Brian Barwick, are determined to select a British coach to replace Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Former Celtic and Leicester boss Martin O'Neill is said to be leading the race for the job but Charlton's Alan Curbishley is also a frontrunner.

Capello has won Serie A four times with AC Milan, once with Roma and once with Juventus, as well as La Liga with Real Madrid and the Champions League with Milan.track
