Former England manager on his ‘perfect’ 2010 World Cup plans, selection issues and how Lampard’s ghost goal still haunts him
The fact Fabio Capello saw it coming and had warned them made it harder to take. “The most incredible thing that’s happened to me,” he calls it, which is saying something for a man who spent 56 years in the game, won the European Cup, four league titles as a player, nine as a manager, and has been to the World Cup with three countries.
One of those was England in 2010. It was not particularly memorable but the Italian can’t help it, not when Frank Lampard’s “ghost goal” haunts him even now 10 years on.
