MILAN, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Former Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello
has said he would be interested in the England manager's job.
England failed to qualify for Euro 2008 after losing 3-2 at home to
Croatia on Wednesday and coach Steve McClaren is expected to be
sacked.
The 61-year-old Capello, who achieved huge success with AC Milan in
the 1990s and also won Italian titles with Juventus and AS Roma,
has often spoken of his desire to coach England.
'It would be a beautiful challenge. I am the right age. It is a
battle,' Capello told Thursday's Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian was dismissed as Real coach at the end of last season
despite winning the Spanish title and is now working as a
commentator for Italy's Rai television.
He is well aware of England's problems, however.
'There are too many foreign players and the players are used to
another way of playing,' he said of England while commentating on
Italy's 3-1 win over Faroe Islands on Wednesday.
Former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho is the bookmakers' favourite if
McClaren is sacked.
