In a prestigious career, Fabio Capello has won different adventures with every club he managed, but will he be able to maintain his huge success with England national team? The Three Lions approved on Thursday the appointment of the highly-regarded Italian tactician, who will succeed Steve McClaren. England are suffering from their inability to reach Euro 2008 in Switzerland and Austria and will not bear another failure. The 61-year-old Capello is tipped to be the savior. Disciplined Manager England players will have to cope with the usual attitude of Capello, who is known for his strict approach towards any shortcomings "He's a difficult guy," former France defender Marcel Desailly, who worked under Capello's guidance at Milan, was quoted as saying by BBC Sport. "He's a professional and he's very demanding. If the players understand that the guy is hard because he wants to succeed then it's a victory." Desailly also hailed the abilities of the former Juventus coach. "The guy tactically is very clever and I understand that he will be very keen on choosing the players and on the tactics he is going to use." Former Milan great Ruud Gullit also warned players not to argue with Capello as the consequences will be difficult to accept. "You don't see him laughing much - he's moody. But he knows what he wants. You have to go his way or you will get in trouble. He screams at you," he said. "You need to be well drilled to play for him - very disciplined - and you certainly don't fool around with him, that's for sure." Capello Offers Solution Capello sees quality in England's current squad and believes their lack of success is down to a 'mental block' rather than tactical problems. "There is tremendous difference in the attitude they show from one game to the next," he told The Sun.
Capello: strict "How can the players of the level of David Beckham or Michael Owen have performances so different when they play for their national team. "It's clear that the shirt is very heavy for those great champions. The manager has a fundamental role to play in this situation. "He has to be more of a psychologist than a tactician or technician. It's clear there is a mental block- otherwise how can you explain their elimination from Euro 2008?" Capello is trying to answer the question. "We managers ask ourselves how can England, with the players they have, not qualify for the 2008 European championship. The English team, much like the Spanish team, wins very little despite having some very good players." Proud Career Capello proved to be a huge success since beginning his coaching career in 1991 with AC Milan. In his stint with the Rossoneri, Capello managed several high-profile players including Dutch trio Marco van Basten, Gullit and Frank Rijkaard. Capello led 'the invincibles' to four Serie A titles as well as guiding them to UEFA Champions League glory in 1994 after a 4-0 rout of Barcelona. The strict-looking Capello left Milan in 1996 and took charge of Real Madrid, where he also won the Primera Liga title. He decided to leave Los Merengues after just one season, returning to Milan for a brief and less successful spell. However, Capello demonstrated his genuine quality when he was appointed as AS Roma coach in 1999, leading the Giallorossi to the Serie A title two years later. It was Roma's first major honor in a decade. Capello took charge of Juventus in 2004 and continued his prestigious career after winning two successive league titles with the Bianconeri. Both titles were later stripped from the Old Lady due to their involvement in the match-fixing scandal. He coached Real Madrid for a second spell in the 2006/2007 season and also led them to the Primera
