Telegraph: Liverpool keen on move for Capello

Fabio Capello is emerging as an increasingly serious contender to become the next manager of Liverpool.

Liverpool interviewed Wigan Athletic's Roberto Martinez on Sunday and are working their way through a long-list of potential candidates but the possibility of trying to employ Capello is being discussed with increased seriousness.

Despite his denial, before Saturday's Champions League final, that he had been in contact with Chelsea, Capello's camp have made it clear that he would be interested in the Stamford Bridge job and he has been pushing to be approached.

The 65 year-old Italian is not, at present, a serious candidate for Chelsea and also has two extremely lucrative offers on the table to coach in the Middle East - one to become the head coach of the United Arab Emirates national team and another to work in Qatar - but has also stated he would like to work in England.

He closely followed whether Harry Redknapp would succeed him as manager of England in case a vacancy arose at Tottenham Hotspur and while Capello's preference would be to work in London, he would give serious consideration should Liverpool make an approach.
