New England boss to hold first press conference
Fabio Capello will be officially unveiled as England manager at 1pm on Monday, live on
Sky Sports News, when he will reveal his vision for the team.
The 61-year-old Italian - whose appointment as Steve McClaren's successor was confirmed on Friday - will be expected to address concerns over the level of English representation among his assistants, in what promises to be a fascinating press conference.
He has already stressed, however, his first intention is to allow the team to re-discover their identity.
"Psychologically, they are a team that needs to find its confidence. I watched them play against Russia and they looked a very impersonal side when playing," said Capello.
Grit
"It's a team that need to find itself and that will be my role.
"The England national team seems to have lost the determination and grit that they had in the past.
"We will have to create in a short time the right atmosphere and the right characteristics to get results.
"From today, I'll learn more English. The most important thing is to get to know the atmosphere.
"The most important thing is to be able to work and take this national team where it belongs.
"It would be the ultimate to win the World Cup and then retire."
Retirement
Capello also revealed that he may try to persuade the likes of Manchester United's Paul Scholes and Liverpool's Jamie Carragher to reverse their decision to retire from international football.
"The players are first-rate and there are plenty to choose from. Plus, there's one or two who retired who I hope to bring back," he said in
The Times.
"It will take time and results to convince everyone. In sporting terms it's a very important challenge, and a tough one.
"I will have to get used to not working with players every day. It's harder to make an impact when you're only seeing the players once in a while."
