HONG KONG (Reuters) - Fabio Capello has set his sights on steering new employers Jiangsu Suning away from the Chinese Super League (CSL) relegation zone and success in the Chinese FA Cup as the Italian prepares for the latest chapter of his long coaching career.

Capello was appointed at the weekend to replace South Korea's Choi Yong-soo with the club languishing in 15th place in the 16-team league after a disastrous start to the campaign.
