Fabio Capello commented today that to coach the English football team he only needed 100 words. This got me thinking is this true? The English football manager job is one of the most high pressure jobs in the world. It is a job that breaks careers. It is like the president of the United States. Once you have been English football manager your career is over. In recent memory only Bobby Robson has managed to have a successful career post England.
What are the 100 words needed to coach England? Probably irrelevant, have we been making the hardest job in sport too complicated? Or has Fabio Capello lost the plot as many suspect. He is a man whose reputation has been dragged through the mud. It is not helped by the fact that he has made many U turns regarding the England football captain. He had a poor world cup beset by poor decisions.
The problem is that as much as the English public think that the England football team is fantastic. Occasionally these much vaunted players need direction. This direction has to come from a coach who understands his players and communicate simply his vision for the side. If 100 words are enough then the Euro championships in 2012 will be the test.
