The FA will appoint an international performance director - but he will not be Capello's boss - and will oversee all national teams below the England men's senior side.

The FA's strategic vision for the next four years also includes winning the bid for the 2018 World Cup, having the National Football Centre (NFC) at Burton up and running in two years' time, and Wembley Stadium making a profit by 2012.

The document sets out a number of major milestones for both the men and women's national teams, grassroots football and policy objectives.

The target of England making the last four of the next World Cup or European Championships is one of the biggest challenges, especially given their failure to qualify for Euro 2008. The England women's team have been presented with the same target.

FA chairman Lord Triesman said: "This document sets out our goals for the next four years and how we intend to achieve them. The FA is prepared to speak and act for the greatest sport in the world. There is much to do, and we have the determination to do it."

Capello insists he is optimistic he will be able to deliver the targets laid down by the FA. He said: "I am not under any pressure - I came here to become England manager with the view and the intent of doing things and I think we can achieve good things because we have got a good team.

"First and foremost [we must realise] the past is past. I am confident, I have a good team and I can work on it in order to achieve the targets I have been set."

According to the FA's report, England is producing "insufficient high-quality players to represent the England national teams and insufficient quality coaches".

The NFC at Burton will be the hub of player and coaching development, according to the FA.
