Fabio Capello is in his element in the testosterone-fueled environment of the football pitch.
But when it comes to beautiful women he seems a little less self-assured.
Capello looked like a terrified schoolboy when he was surrounded by a bevy of semi-naked dancers on an Italian TV show.
Keeping his eyes firmly away from their twisting and shaking bodies he sat with his back ramrod straight and legs clenched together.
Perhaps it was the knowledge that a dozen cameras watched his every move that made smartly turned out Capello so uneasy.
And the no-nonsense manager is said to have even banned WAGs from England games and given his players strict bed times before matches.
The Italian is in Milan to attend AC Milan's match against Genoa tomorrow and assess David Beckham's form.
Beckham is hoping to be called up by Capello for a friendly against Spain next month to equal Bobby Moore's record of 108 England caps.
