Fabio Capello to quit England for Inter Milan after the 2010 World Cup?


From ODDS PREVIEW STAFF

England boss Fabio Capello has been cut to succeed Jose Mourinho as Inter Milan manager with less than two weeks to go until the 2010 World Cup gets underway

Capello is in to 4/1 with Sky Bet (from 10/1) to take the reins at the San Siro following England's World Cup campaign in South Africa.

Capello has played down rumours that he is in the frame to take over as coach of the newly crowned European champions, insisting that his sole focus is the upcoming World Cup.

But recent changes to his contract with the Football Association would allow him to talk to clubs following the World Cup and some reports in Sunday's newspapers suggested Capello was ready to walk away from the England job if reassurances about his future as England coach were not given to him.

Sky Bet make Catania coach and former Inter Milan player and assistant manager Sinisa Mihajlovic favourite to be in the dugout at the San Siro next season. Inter President Massimo Moratti has admitted he would love to bring the fans’ favourite back to the club and Mihajlovic is a 6/5 chance to replace Mourinho.

Rafa Benitez, who was strongly linked with Juventus earlier this month, has also been mooted as a contender and is Sky Bet’s 7/1 second favourite, out from 9/2 after pledging his future to Liverpool.

Another Premier League boss thought to be in contention is Fulham’s Roy Hodgson, who managed Inter from 1995-1997. He is a 14/1 chance to return to Italy.

Guus Hiddink, who enjoyed a highly successful spell at Chelsea last season and is currently manager of Turkey, is also a 14/1 chance.
