Former Chelsea
manager Jose Mourinho was the initial favourite to take over from
McClaren, but he eventually ruled himself out of the running. The FA
quickly turned its attentions to Capello, although World Cup-winning coach
Marcello Lippi was also thought to be in contention. Capello
expressed his interest in the job just days after McClaren's departure,
describing it as a "beautiful challenge". |
