Hierro urges Real Madrid fans to back Capello

Real Madrid legend Fernando Hierro has urged fans to get behind coach Fabio Capello.

"I would not be so pessimistic. Those that know Fabio, we know of his capacity to motivate and to unite the dressing room in a common objective," said Hierro.

"Fabio is a great coach for Madrid, knows how to handle this dressing room and knows what is needed to win a title."

"You must have patience with Fabio because nobody will regret his return to the club. I am optimistic."
