Capello has won seven league titles (four with Milan, two with Madrid, one with Roma) but has only ever won one cup competition (super cups don't count) when he managed Milan to the 1993-94 Champions League.

I don't know why anyone thought he would be a good idea for national teams, where literally every competition is a cup competition.

Maybe they want him for the European friendlies league

Sounds like Capello is in hot water: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jul/02/fabio-capello-russia-world-cup

quote:

Igor Ananskikh, the head of the State Duma’s sports committee, said he would indeed be calling Capello before the committee in October to explain the team’s poor performance. If Capello does decide to put in an appearance at the Duma, he can expect some interesting lines of questioning on football tactics. When asked what the biggest problem with the players was, Pakholkov said it was that Russia’s team are simply too small.

“Look at the size of the Koreans, even they are bigger than us! I’m not talking about Germans or Brazilians, who are obviously giants. Our guys are twice as small as them. I’m not against small players but Capello’s team can’t even run fast. What are they doing in the team?”

Any word if the Russians are planning to host any games in Crimea? :allears:

I doubt they're going to host games in stadiums that weren't in their bid
