London: Former England manager Fabio Capello has wished Roy Hodgson good luck for his tenure as their national team manager, but also warned him of the difficulties he would face while managing them.
Capello believes managing a club and managing a national team like England are both very different with the latter one being the tougher of the two.
“As a club manager, you are a manager. As a national team manager, you are a selector. You cannot work with and get the best out of the players all of the time because some are injured, some are not in a top moment, some are unhappy with their club`s position, some have a problem with their manager,” The Daily Mirror quoted Capello, as saying.
“It`s not a normal job. It`s difficult to create something. You can`t do something in a short space of time. The idea is to create the team spirit and winning mentality in a really short time. This is very difficult. It will be hard,” he added.
“And, the other thing is, that you don`t play a lot of games. In nearly every game, you are either in or out,” he said.
Capello was hopeful England would perform well in the Euros, which would justify his work with the national team.
“I`ve known Roy since he was coaching in Italy and I have met him often in these last few years. I believe he is a very good and experienced manager. I wish him all the best for the future and Euro 2012,” Capello said.
“I`m happy with the job I did for England. I hope that England will be one of the best teams at the Euros and they can show my job was really good. If things go well as I hope, people will recognise that I did a good job,” he added.
