Breaking News: England FA Confirm Talk With Fabio Capello
The FA has confirmed it has been in talks with Fabio Capello over becoming the next England manager.
He was pictured at Heathrow Airport this afternoon after the talks which were described as "extremely positive".
The 61-year-old Italian is believed to have met FA chief executive Brian Barwick at Wembley Stadium.
He is the hot favourite to succeed Steve McClaren after Jose Mourinho ruled himself out of the running.
Adrian Bevington, the FA's director of communications, said: "I am pleased to say that these discussions were extremely positive and without any problems.
"Fabio Capello has now returned to Italy to honour a commitment.
"Understandably further talks are now taking place between Fabio Capello's advisors and ourselves."
Although there is little doubt Jose Mourinho would have been a popular choice among England fans, many felt Capello should have been top of the FA's list from the start.
With nine league titles on an impressive CV encompassing spells at Juventus, AC Milan and Real Madrid, Capello has proved his credentials at the very highest level.
