The Football Association wants coach Fabio Capello to take England at least to the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup or Euro 2012, the FA said in a review published on Tuesday.

Capello, who took charge of England in January following their failure to qualify for next month’s Euro 2008 finals, has so far won one match and lost another.

But the 61-year-old Italian said he was confident of achieving the goals set out in the 50-page review entitled The FA’s Vision 2008-12.

"I think the team I have at the moment is capable of achieving these targets," Capello told reporters at Wembley Stadium.

"I believe you must always be positive. My personal objective every time I have coached and managed has been to get to the top.

"It is no surprise that these targets have been set and we should be confident with them."

The document noted that Capello’s task was not helped by the number of foreigners now playing in England.

"It is no longer possible to consider the success of the senior men’s team without acknowledging that the number of eligible players for it is declining," it stated.
