English advantageous but not mandatory

I can only imagine that the job description for England manager doesn't ask for English to be mandatory as Capello's English is limited at best. How's he meant to motivate his players when he can't speak to them in their own language? Half-time team talks are going to be farcical!

He has a great record for sure, and he could still be very successful, but not being fluent in English, or even competent in English, is going to make his job very much harder. Good luck to him.
