Although it was not specifically mentioned by the club, it’s believed Capello is bringing Italians Gianluca Zambrotta and Cristian Brocchi to join his staff.
Former England and Russia manager Capello will also oversee the youth academy and help build the infrastructure that Suning so far lack.
This club is owned by Suning Group, who also run Inter.
Paulo Sousa of Fiorentina was also linked with this position, but failed to agree personal terms.
