Man with a vision: Fabio Capello

Capello, 61, has agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Football Association but suggested he will leave early if England capture the game's ultimate prize.

He said: "The most important thing I want is to do is take the England team to the position it merits. It is the biggest challenge of my career, and the most difficult.

"Everyone expects results. I want to win the World Cup and then I will retire."

Capello watched yesterday's two Premier League clashes on television.

Speaking on his weekly Italian TV slot last night, he said: "I have already begun studying. I have started early."

Ahead of today's press conference, Capello also provided an insight into the thinking which persuaded the FA to make a swift appointment.

He said: "This England team have lost their fighting spirit. There is something blocking them. I saw them against Russia and they were not themselves and they have to find faith in themselves first.

"I had this at Real Madrid the second time, they had lost their characteristics and faith. England have not qualified for the European finals and they need to find that faith again.

"I have had the fortune to train great players but only at club level. This time it will be on a national level so I will have to push the right buttons in a week to get the winning spirit."
