Mourinho: Capello England’s problem

(GSM) – Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has taken a swipe at England manager Fabio Capello, claiming that England will never win anything while the under-pressure Italian is in charge.

Capello has again been hit with a great wave of criticism as the Sun branded him a “donkey” for leaving Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll out of the squad for the Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland.

Meanwhile Mourinho has added his voice to the onslaught.

“The problem is the manager,” Mourinho said in the Daily Mirror. “Capello will not work for England.”

Capello is one of Mourinho’s numerous predecessors at Real Madrid, a club the Portuguese coach says still remembers his managerial flaws.

“He has a one-track relationship with players,” he said. “Ask anyone here at Real Madrid. He can’t change. You cannot go around just shouting at players. They need to feel special.

“It is clear. Capello will not work for England. He does not know the players. They are frightened of him and they can’t play for him.

“For me, it is a mess for England. Players need clear tactics. They cannot be confused about what they have to do. It is the manager’s fault. And it is a big shame.”
