New England Manager Fabio Capello and his coaching staff made their first official visit to Wembley Stadium today.

Fitness Coach Massimo Neri, Goalkeeping Coach Franco Tancredi, General Manager Franco Baldini and Assistant Coach Italo Galbiati joined Capello for a tour of the national stadium.

Capello said of the visit "I felt it was important that my staff had the earliest opportunity to visit Wembley. I wanted them to get a feel for the stadium. We looked at the pitch, which has just been relaid, we toured the dressing rooms and looked at the medical facilities.

"I have to say that we were all greatly impressed with everything we found. Wembley is the spiritual home of football and we are all determined to try and create a successful team for England here.

"Already, we are looking forward to playing in front of 90,000 fans against Switzerland next month.

"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."
