Today the FA have confirmed that Fabio Capello is to remain the manager of the England football team.
There seems to be quite a discussion on whether Capello is the right man, but instead of debating his technique or success with leading the England team, these talks are about his nationality.
Some are saying that England should have an English manager, but is that really the problem?
We did win the World Cup with an English manger all those years ago, but we have had many since who have done no better than the non-English managers we have also had leading the team.
With Capello quoted saying "I am more determined than ever to succeed with the England team", I think we should focus more on how Capello deals with future competitions, and see whether he is capable of actually leading England to success. The recent World Cup leads me to believe that we don't stand much of a chance in future competitions unless something drastically changes. Capello has a great track record, we need to see this reflected in the England team's performances. He has now been given another chance to prove himself, and if he does, no one will be complaining that he is not English; so why complain about it now?
