Tim Bradford – the man behind many of the posters and regular cartoon features at When Saturday Comes – has a new book out celebrating England's Italian coach. Finally, you can throw away your slightly soiled Swedish "Learn to Speak Eriksson" phrasebooks, and start to learn the language and ways of the real Messiah of English football: Fabio Capello. Learn to Speak Capello will have you winning major European trophies in no time at all... in Italian!

Useful sections include: The story of Fabio's English adventure in pictorial form, 'how-to' diagrams of real Italian hand gestures, Italian phrases you can use in conversation whenever you feel the need to compare Fabio with the great England managers of the past (“Fabio is less spiritual than Glenn Hoddle”) and tactical guides to some of Capello's famous teams. It also features translations of favourite press conference cliches, with accompanying illustrations: “There are no easy games in international football”; “I'm sure I can get the best out of Wayne Rooney”; and “I have a great relationship with Silvio Berlusconi”.
