It seems like Capello is all set for England. He was coach of AC Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid with a large list of accolades to show.

What do you think of an Italian managing England?
Crazy idea or the new way to go?

The Football Association board have approved Fabio Capello's appointment as England manager subject to the successful conclusion of contract negotiations.

FA officials have been locked in talks with the 61-year-old Italian's advisors all day going through the final details of a contract.

Those discussions will continue tomorrow but the deal is all but done.

FA director of communications Adrian Bevington said: 'Discussions have continued throughout the day between the FA and Fabio Capello's advisors.

'The FA board has also today approved Capello's appointment as England manager subject to the successful conclusion of these contract negotiations.

'These will continue tomorrow. I want to stress that there are no problems and that we are going through the necessary process to reach a successful conclusion.

'Understandably at this time we are unable to confirm any media activity that may take place. We will provide an update tomorrow.'

Capello has been appointed. apparently, many people are not happy that he is not English.

Premier League managers Gareth Southgate, Steve Coppell and Mark Hughes have criticised the Football Association (FA) board's decision to approve the appointment of Italian Fabio Capello as England coach.

Looks like Capello is not going to get much help.
