England: 11 years on from the start of Fabio Capello’s reign – where are the starting XI now?
The reign of Fabio Capello as England manager got underway 11 years ago.His first match in charge was a 2-1 win over Switzerland and brought with it hope of finally another major tournament win.Capello came with a fearsome reputation and a CV that included seven Serie A titles with three different clubs (AC Milan, Roma and Juventus) and two La Liga titles with Real Madrid.7

Fabio Capello managed England from 2008-2012

After Steve McLaren had failed to qualify England for Euro 2008, the Italian had two-and-a-half years to get his side into shape for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.His arrival was not without its criticism though, most notably from FIFA president Sepp Blatter.Blatter said: I would say it is a little surprising that the motherland of football has ignored a sacrosanct law or belief that the national team manager should be from the same country as the players. Capello started off his tenure by leaving out a number of senior players from his first squad, including Sol Campbell and David Beckham.Jermaine Jenas and Shaun Wright-Phillips scored in the friendly against Switzerland to give England a 2-1 win.7
