17 December 2007 VIDEO: Fabio Capello unveiled Fabio Capello is unveiled to the media as the new England Manager, and calls it ‘a dream come true’. Sir Trevor Brooking believes that new England manager Fabio Capello has the aura to get the current crop of internationals back on top of their game.
Speaking five days after Capello was unveiled at a press conference in London, Sir Trevor, FA Director of Football Development, has given his backing to Capello who he believes can ’rekindle the fire’ within the national team.
“Fabio really is mystified why they have not performed at the level they should,” Sir Trevor told the Daily Telegraph.
“Fabio is very much one for getting inside the individual. He will judge them on how they respond to his ways.
“The players will respond to Fabio. He has the aura. He will ask a lot of searching questions of players. He knows how to create a tough team.
“You don’t do what he has done [in winning nine titles] without having to make strong decisions. The England players are desperate to achieve things.
“Their fire is strong but it needs to be rekindled to get the best out of them.
“It needs the expertise of someone like Fabio to bring the confidence, structure and blend.”
