"Another unnecessary hasty decision by Barwick after losing out on first choice Mourinho."
Capello to become England manager Fabio Capello will be appointed as the next manager of England later on Thursday, BBC Sport can reveal. BBC sports editor Mihir Bose says the 61-year-old Italian has been offered a four-year deal worth £4m a year. Capello's appointment will be ratified by the Football Association following a board meeting at lunchtime. Capello, who has coached AC Milan, Real Madrid, Juventus and Roma, succeeds Steve McClaren, who was sacked after England failed to reach Euro 2008. Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho was the initial favourite to take over, but he ruled himself out of the running and the FA quickly turned their attentions to Capello. The Italian expressed his interest in the job just days after McClaren's departure. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
