Premier ambition: Kaka says he'll consider a move to the Premier League

Capello is planning for England's World Cup 2010 qualification and has been backed by Kaka to succeed.

"I don't think there is any doubt that Fabio Capello is a very fine manager," said the Brazilian.

"I believe he can win a lot with the England team in the time he spends as the national team manager."

Kaka, the reigning world player of the year, has also expressed his admiration for English clubs - especially their performances in the Champions League - and hinted he may even consider a move to the Barclays Premier League in the future.

"In the last five or six years, English teams have improved a lot and they are consistently at a high level now," he said.

"Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are all excellent and any of them could win it.

"I believe all the four English clubs have a great chance of making it all the way to the final in Moscow in May.

"But you cannot rule out the other big clubs involved still, such as Barcelona."

And on his future at the San Siro, the 25-year-old said: "I am very happy here in Milan but if one day I had to leave I would like to play in another big European team.

"The biggest clubs are in Italy, England and Spain so it would be in one of these countries, although it is clear they play differently in these places.

"I think these three championships are the most important in the world at the present moment, all very good and competitive."
