66-year-old Italian is currently coaching the football players of the Russian national team, but it is said that he finds it difficult to adapt to the prevailing football culture there. F. Capello is already thinking about his future elsewhere.
"I would be pleased to work in this league. Why do I miss English football the most? The stadiums there are full," said F. Capello.
The owner of the "Chelsea" team, Roman Abramovich, has long been looking for a coach who could permanently replace Rafael Benitez, who is currently the interim manager. Previously, R. Abramovich dreamt of Josep Guardiola, but he will be working with the Munich "Bayern" team from the summer, so the "Chelsea" club's patron needs another high-class well-known coach.
Fans of the "Manchester City" team are talking about the need to get rid of Roberto Mancini, who is unlikely to retain the title of English champions. "Manchester City" is fifteen points behind the tournament leaders, and the club, nurtured by Qatari sheikhs' millions, is not living up to expectations.
In 2012, F. Capello had to leave the English national team due to disagreements with the Football Association (FA). At that time, the coach was not happy that the FA decided to strip the captaincy from John Terry due to his involvement in a racism scandal.
However, the Italian was invited to the FA's 150th anniversary celebration, and it seems that the relationship between the English football authorities and F. Capello is beginning to improve.
