On Friday, the English FA appointed former Juventus, Roma, AC Milan and Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello to be the coach of the England national team. Capello has signed a four-and-a-half year contract, reputedly worth GBP6.5m per year, and will begin work on 7 January.
We sat down and talked with Capello during a short visit to Shanghai in June. He spoke candidly about his life in football one week after securing the Spanish League title with Real Madrid, and just 48 hours before the club unceremoniously fired him.
Visiting Shanghai with his family en route to a holiday in Tibet, Capello was carrying out some promotional engagements for a friend’s China-based yacht-making business. It was, however, a fractious trip, with the notoriously impatient Capello repeatedly irked by inane questions from the Chinese press.
