Capello becomes England favourite


Capello becomes England favourite

Fabio Capello is the favourite to become England manager since Jose Mourinho ruled himself out.Reports suggest FA officials have spoken to Capello's advisors and he is expected to arrive in London for more detailed talks later this week.Capello has said he would be interested in the challenge of leading the England team, but it is not clear if he will confirm that when discussions get more serious.Capello has been out of work since June, when he guided Real Madrid to the Spanish League title for the second time in his career.He has won seven league titles with Real, Milan, Juventus and Roma.FA insiders have said Capello's inability to speak English would not prevent him getting the job.It has been suggested former Chelsea favourite Gianfranco Zola could be brought into his coaching team, a move that would win favour with English fans, as well as aiding Capello in his battle against the language barrier.Former England skipper Alan Shearer and current under-21 coach Stuart Pearce may also be involved.© Independent Television News Limited 2007.
