Football Association chief executive Brian Barwick described new England manager Fabio Capello as a winner with a capital W at his press conference. Barwick has now warned that it will be difficult for England to win any major tournament. Fabio Capello has the unenviable task of turning the fortunes for England.

"We have not won anything for 40 years. Let us not expect him to suddenly win us two big championships.

Capello has enjoyed a great record at club level in both Italy and Spain. The nation will be hoping that he can transfer some of this success to his new placement. Capello’s first game in charge will take place in February when England host Switzerland in a friendly at the new Wembley Stadium.
