England defender John Terry has admitted that Fabio Capello's no-nonsense regime has left him in fear of the boss.

The 64-year old is a famous disciplinarian and this mentality has been introduced to the Three Lions' set-up. Mobile phones being turned off, players forced to wear suits when travelling to matches and everyone leaving the dining room at the same time are just some of the measures the Italian has introduced.

Speaking to ITV, Terry stated the benefit's of Capello's managerial style.

“When you walk past him in the morning he gives you a little ‘good morning’ and that’s it," Terry said.

"It works well I think because on the field he’s brilliant, he takes all the training sessions himself and I’ve been really impressed with him actually.”

Referring to the current no-nonsense regime, he added: “We have to be in our rooms and, sort of shut away, by 11 o’clock.”
