Venables: Capello for England

Venables told The Sun: “Managing England has become harder than ever and you need someone used to these extraordinary pressures.

“I never thought I’d be saying this but people like Capello have already experienced such pressure in their own country.

“They have the know-how, deep knowledge of international and Champions League football. But, most of all, they are winners.”

He added: “People like Capello and Marcello Lippi, who won the World Cup with Italy, are tough guys who wouldn’t find it so difficult working here.”
