Serie A - Inter show Capello interest

Sat, 18 Jun 18:19:00 2011

Inter president Massimo Moratti has hinted that he would consider appointing England manager Fabio Capello as the club's new coach.

Leonardo's decision to join Paris Saint Germain has left Inter searching for a new coach for the third time in the space of a year and the club have already been turned down by former Chile boss Marco Bielsa.

Moratti has ruled out appointing Carlo Ancelotti and has played down speculation that Fiorentina boss Sinisa Mihajlovic could be a target.

However, when asked about Capello by Gazzetta dello Sport, Moratti responded: "Who doesn't like him?

"I am looking for the right coach for Inter. A person who won't change the team a great deal and will try to win everything."

Capello, who is contracted until the end of England's Euro 2012 campaign, was questioned about the reported interest from Inter on Friday and said he firmly was in the dark.

"I am in Marbella, in the sun, with my grandchildren," Capello said.

"I am not aware of what is being said as in my house, my grandchildren have taken over the TV. They make the decisions regarding the TV and watch Walt Disney."

  1. There is no Cloughie around, So be it we need the­ Pimpernel..very evasive crossing the borders, the­ invisible man with the frangrance from his pipe or some­ novelists who can rewrite the ' The Forty­ Steps' which we can read while travelling through­ the ' splendid' countryside of England.

  3. "Holland has 18 million inhabitants, Wales and­ Scotland­ have together about 7. England is still the­ greatest­ nation in the world. This precious stons set­ in the­ silver sea, this plot, this earth, this realm,­ this­ England."
    You're joking, right?

  6. All the English daggers are out again... they will­ replace Capello with Harry Rednapp or Stuart Pearce..­ God, these people breed mediocrity...
    Capello Won what­ 2 La Liga, 4 Serie A, Champions Legaue.. he even won­ the serie A with Roma ... Harry Rednapp has won that­ fantastic FA cup and has coached Pompey but English­ fans think he is better than Capello. Of course,­ Capello offense is that he doesn't suck up to the­ journalists...
    Bottomline is that England won't­ ever do well unless they get rid of the rubbish: Terry,­ lampard, Rooney and play people on merit. Now on that­ count I also blame Capello

  8. No 14, you could not have stated it better. You took it­ right out of mouth. Well said. You make a lot od sense.­ Keep up the truth. The English fans may not like it but­ who cares. We must not be afraid to say the truth and­ if someone does not like it, tough luck.

  9. He ought to go. England don't deserve him. Every­ manager is world class...until they come to manage­ England!!!! Why? Because England players are rubbish -­ a proven fact which English fans stubbornly refuse to­ countenance despite glaring evidence.

    Is Capello or­ indeed Sven at fault for England not winning anything­ since 1966! Oh I forgot, it is foreign players.­ Apparently there are no foreign players in Scotland and­ Wales(both roughly the size of Holland by the­ way...that's why they have such fabulous national­ teams.

  10. lets be honest about this, the ONLY reason capello is­ still the manager of our national team is because our­ governing body couldnt afford to sack him after the WC,­ the contact was such that he had the FA by the b.alls­ the minute he had he's "get out" clause­ taken out of his contract just before south africa.­ since then he has just gone through the motions with­ the players, the FA and the fans.......
    what a­ ridiculous situation for all concerned.

  11. *no 9 - that's so true.england senior squad just­ not good enough.lets hope england's u21 squad can­ achieve something. go FRANCE! .LOL

  12. Capello is a world class manager but as a national­ coach its not quiet working out. However a lot of you­ might not know but Capello was Milan's boss and I­ was wondering if Milan fans would be happy if he did go­ to Inter? I think he will go but it would leave England­ with a problem with finding a new manager. Obviously­ the first choice would be Harry Redknapp but would­ Spurs fans what him to go right now?

  13. Hes definitely not shown an ability to adapt the­ English team and change that mentality which is running­ through the squad. Bar, Cole, Rooney and Crouch the­ rest of the old guard need to go, or at least not to be­ automatically given the shirt...

  14. Not many Capello fans I see. The funny thing is many of­ you England fans will be saying the same thing about­ the next England coach. I will not be surprised at all­ if the next England manager doesn't achieve much­ success with England and like all his predecessors he­ will have all the same criticisms . Eriksson has­ probably laughed all his ribs off by now cos the fact­ is that he's been the most successful manager­ England have had since 1998. Capello is a great manager­ and England fans are acting like there's many­ others better out there. Been hearing this same England­ whinges since before Eriksson's era.

  16. I heard raymond domenech is spending his holidays in­ England

    MAybe the FA should give a call

  17. Capello has hardly brought England's game on in­ terms of mentality,skill or tactics, nor has he­ revamped a squad full of underachieving players and­ lost pride.......... The man welcomed with open arms in­ the beginning will unfortunately be no loss to the­ national team now.
    The FA would do well to start­ looking at the next generation now, and there is no­ clear indication that Stuart Pearce is able to take­ over the mantle either - given the lustless­ performances by the U21 players in Sweden right now and­ his own dubious team choices/ tactical­ decisions.
    England not only needs a grass-root change­ to the way football is developed, and the way it is­ taught and played but also needs chiefs in place to­ oversee this - namely the schoolboy, youth­ international and full international coaching­ teams..........
