New favourite gets backing

With Jose Mourinho excluding himself out of the run for the new England manger, former AC Roma, Juventus, AC Milan & Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello seems to be the new favourite. With a thrilling record under his belt, he has been quoted by many British newspapers as being the next-best in line.
With 61 years of age, Capello has won one league tittle for Roma and two for Milan, while also leading Milan to victory in the '94 European Cup. He was coach for Juventus in 2005 and 2006 but left soon after it got entangled in the match-fixing scandal. From Juventus he went to Madrid where he won two League tittles for them and finally got fired last year.
Now he's open to jobs and have been receiving backing for the England post from not only Arsenal's Arsene Wenger, but from the team players themselves like Frank Lampard. He told Sky Sports "He has proved himself a winner with success everywhere he's been and would be a very good choice."
