In the money: Capello earns vastly more than any other World Cup manager[LNB] Fabio Capello might look like the sort of chap who can handle pressure well but a list that has been published by his old friends in Madrid is unlikely to help him prepare for next summer's World Cup.[LNB] According to Marca, a Madrid sports daily newspaper for which he used to write a column, Capello earns three times more than his nearest rival and a ludicrous amount more than the managers he will meet in the group stage of the World Cup.[LNB]While the England boss commands an annual wage approaching £6million - Marca claims it is more - the USA's Bob Bradley is on £246,599, while Matiaz Kek of Slovenia and Rabah Saadane of Algeria are said to both earn £221,902 a year. [LNB]Capello comfortably eclipses his fellow Italian, Marcello Lippi, who, despite guiding his country to victory in the last World Cup, is on £1,848,465.[LNB] Capello also earns substantially more than the managers of the two teams widely regarded as favourites. For coaching Spain, Vicente del Bosque earns £1,355,863, while Brazil's Carlos Dunga earns £755,265.[LNB] The Germans pay Joachim Loew £1,417,493 - but at least they will get plenty of practice with the new adidas ball that will be used in South Africa.[LNB] Revealed: Franz Beckenbauer (L) and David Beckham present the official match ball for the FIFA World Cup 2010 on December 4, 2009 in Cape Town, South Africa.[LNB] In the build-up to the World Cup, adidas will supply the new ball to all the leagues that use their footballs, which includes the German league.[LNB] Yesterday FA officials said they were not concerned as they have already been assured by the sportswear giants that the England squad can have a supply of the new 'Jabulani' ball for training whenever they want.
