Capello won 2 CL, 7 Seria A titles (with three different teams), 2 La ligas.. and although disappointing at last WC he still has the best record of all time as England manager.
Too many average players and overrated primadonnas are England's real problem, but hey it's so much easier spurred on by the gutter press to always blame the manager. |
I disagree - England had an excellent squad under Capello. But he never managed to get the team to gel.
The fact is that success as a club team manager does not automatically equate to success with a national squad.
With regards to "best record of all time", absolute bullshit. The basic numbers suggest a good record, in friendlies against weak opposition. But when it mattered against proper teams it was embarrasingly bad.
Lies, dam lies, and statistics.
