Dual management role not for Capello

England coach Fabio Capello would not consider taking on the workload of being a club and country manager like Guus Hiddink. When asked about Hiddink's split responsibilities, the Italian said: "It is not my problem. I know he did it before with Australia and PSV.

"I prefer to think about one job, not two."

"They are two completely different jobs," he added.

"As a club manager you coach every day and you can change the style in a very short space of time. You can speak with the players about problems.

"With the national team it is different. I meet the players every 45 days. If you want to change a lot of things, you only have a very short time to work.

"In that situation, the character of the coach is very important."
