Fabio Capello marked four years in charge of England on Sunday.
Here, we look at the highs and lows of Capello's tenure.
February 6, 2008 - Capello's first game in charge ends in a 2-1 win over Switzerland at Wembley. Jermaine Jenas scores the first goal of a new era. Shaun Wright-Phillips grabs the winner. HIGH.
March 26, 2008 - Capello suffers his first defeat, a 1-0 reverse by France in Paris, but subsequently claimed it was the day he knew he had a good team. LOW.
September 10, 2008 - The most amazing result of Capello's entire reign against the team responsible for their elimination from Euro 2008. Nineteen-year-old Theo Walcott scores a hat-trick for a rampant England as they beat Croatia 4-1 in Zagreb. HIGH.
November 19, 2008 - A scratch England side beat Germany 2-1 in Berlin to maintain the momentum Capello has generated. HIGH.
February 12, 2009 - England are given a reality check by Euro 2008 winners Spain in Seville. The hosts are too slick for Capello's team, although again, absences could be cited as a reason. LOW.
September 9, 2009 - England secure their place at the World Cup by recording a 5-1 win over Croatia at Wembley. Wayne Rooney is amongst the goalscorers - his last for his country for the entire season. HIGH.
October 10, 2009 - Capello suffers defeat for the first time in a competitive game as England are beaten by the Ukraine in Dnipropetrovsk. Robert Green is sent off after just 14 minutes. LOW.
November 14, 2009 - Another much-changed England side, this time skippered by Rooney, are beaten by Brazil in Qatar. LOW.
December 4, 2009 - England seem to get a favourable World Cup draw as they are paired with the United States, Algeria and Slovenia in Group C. HIGH.
February 5, 2010 - Capello strips John Terry of the captain's armband following allegations of misconduct in the Chelsea defender's private life. The hard-line stance is welcomed by many. HIGH.
May 10, 2010 - Capello puts his name to a new player rating system, with scores due to be posted online within two hours of World Cup matches ending. The move is condemned almost immediately. LOW.
May 11, 2010 - The Capello Index project is shelved. Capello announces his 30-man provisional World Cup squad, which includes Jamie Carragher and Ledley King, who did not feature for a minute in qualifying. An attempt to persuade Paul Scholes to come out of retirement fails. LOW.
June 1, 2010 - Capello names his 23-man squad - and drops Theo Walcott. Carragher and King make the cut. HIGH.
June 2, 2010 - Capello signs a new contract, removing the break clause that comes into effect after the World Cup. HIGH.
June 4, 2010 - Rio Ferdinand injures his ankle following a collision with Emile Heskey and is ruled out of the tournament. LOW.
June 12, 2010 - King is injured within minutes during the first game against the United States and doesn't play again for the remainder of the tournament. Carragher replaces him but is booked. Green's howler costs England victory. LOW.
June 18, 2010 - An even worse performance against Algeria in Cape Town as England are held to a goalless draw. The Three Lions are booed off and Rooney responds by shouting an obscenity at a nearby TV camera. LOW.
June 20, 2010 - Terry launches a quite staggering attack on team spirit during a routine press conference but subsequently backs down. LOW.
June 21, 2010 - Capello accuses Terry of making ``a very big mistake'' by airing his criticisms in public. LOW.
June 23, 2010 - England finally manage a win, 1-0 over Slovenia, but waste a host of chances and Landon Donovan's last-minute goal for the United States against Algeria condemns the Three Lions to a last-16 meeting with Germany. LOW.
June 27, 2010 - Frank Lampard's equaliser is disallowed after England rally from 2-0 down. After Germany survive an early second-half flurry, Thomas Muller scores twice to seal a record 4-1 win. Capello comes under pressure to resign. LOW.
July 2, 2010 - The Football Association put an end to speculation about Capello's future by confirming the Italian will see out the remainder of his contract. HIGH.
August 11, 2010 - Capello's dreaded first match after the abysmal World Cup arrives. England come from behind against Hungary to win 2 -1, with Steven Gerrard scoring both. Joe Hart makes his first start in goal. HIGH
September 3, 2010 - England begin their qualifying campaign with a resounding 4-0 home win over Bulgaria. Adam Johnson scores after coming off the bench but Jermain Defoe takes home the match ball, grabbing a hat-trick. HIGH
March 15, 2011 - Capello reinstates Terry as captain, claiming the Chelsea man is, "still a good player and captain". The decision aggrieves previous skipper, Ferdinand and Capello is heavily criticised. LOW
October 7, 2011 - Needing only a point to qualify for Euro 2012, England race into a 2-0 lead against Montenegro in Podgorica, only to be pegged back. The evening is made worse when Rooney is sent off for kicking an opponent, meaning he faces a suspension from UEFA. LOW
October 13, 2011 - The fall-out from Montenegro continues and Rooney receives a three-match ban from UEFA, meaning he will miss all of England's group matches. LOW
November 5, 2011 - Capello insists that he will continue to pick captain Terry despite the Chelsea man being investigated by the FA and Metropolitan police for allegations of racism towards QPR's, Anton Ferdinand. LOW
November 12, 2011 - England defeat World and European champions Spain 1-0 at Wembley with a disciplined performance. Lampard scores the only goal. England follow this up with a 1-0 victory over Sweden to finish 2011 unbeaten. HIGH
December 2, 2011 - England are drawn against France, Ukraine and Sweden at Euro 2012. It is a difficult draw but one which Capello believes they can negotiate. HIGH
December 8, 2011 - Rooney's ban is reduced to two games, meaning he can play the last group game against Ukraine. HIGH
February 2, 2012 - After Terry's trial date for racism allegations is set after Euro 2012, Capello is under pressure to remove Terry from future England squads. LOW
