New England coach Fabio Capello has given his official seal of approval to the new Wembley.

Capello took his four-man coaching team on a tour of the stadium just three days after officially succeeding Steve McClaren.

With the 61-year-old's first game in charge, against Switzerland on February 6, looming fast, Capello felt he needed to show trusted aide Franco Baldini, plus the other three members of his backroom staff - veteran assistant coach Italo Galbiati, goalkeeping coach Franco Tancredi and fitness coach Massimo Neri the place they will call home for the next two-and-a-half years at least.

"I felt it was important that my staff had the earliest opportunity to visit Wembley," he said. "It is incredible the level of support the team receives.

"I am told that the atmosphere for night games is when Wembley is at its best so we will work now towards the Switzerland game with excitement and anticipation of the atmosphere at what is, undoubtedly, one of world football's great stadiums.

"Wembley is the spiritual home of football and we are all determined to try and create a successful team for England here."
