He also played for Italy; he is particularly remembered for a goal with which Italy beat England at Wembley for the first time in its history

Capello made his name as coach in the early 1990s at Milan, leading a team including the likes of Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi to four Serie A titles in five years with a team nicknamed "the invincibles". Under Capello, Milan remained unbeaten for 58 league games between May 19, 1991 and March 21, 1993, which included an entire season where they were unbeaten in the league

He then had a single season in charge of Real Madrid, guiding the club to the Spanish league title, before returning to Milan for a brief and less successful spell.

He moved to Roma in 1999, winning the 2001 Scudetto. That was Roma's first major honor in a decade. However, his relationship with fans was soured when he was involved in a feud with popular Roma captain Francesco Totti. The final years of his tenure were also marred by accusations that he engineered the departure of several key players to sabotage the club, which led to the team plummeting near the bottom of Serie A and almost being relegated. To this day Capello is reviled by Roma fans because he supported Lazio as a child.

Capello left debt-ridden Roma to sign with Juventus, where he had played as a midfielder. Juventus won the 2004-05 and 2005-06 'Scudetto' under Capello's leadership, but were later stripped of their trophies due to involvement in the Italian match-fixing scandal.

In July 2006, with Juventus in the midst of the aforementioned match-fixing scandal, Capello resigned as Juventus manager. Press reports strongly linked him with a move back to Real Madrid; new club president Ramón Calderón had publicly stated his hope that Capello would return for a second stint at the club and on 5 July 2006, the official Real Madrid website announced Capello's appointment.[2]

Capello was criticized by Juventus captain Alessandro del Piero, as Fabio Cannavaro and Emerson also left for Real Madrid, with some believing that Capello had privately persuaded the players to follow him.

Beckham - he didn't get on with him did he at Real Madrid - and Beckham may be too old in 2010
Owen is injury prone
Lampard hasn't gelled with Gerrard
Crouch is ok

Hargreaves ok

Walcott needs to prove himself

We should be so lucky - he wasn't interested in the England job was he?
