Capello and mourinho are completely different coaches.
Capello brings about him order, discpline and dicatorship. He doesn't develop a close relationship with the players or anyone for that matter. He's simply their to do his job and thats what he wants to be judged on.
In some places that works, fair enough. However, in some places like Madrid that isn't enough. If you are only interested in your job then you better bring about results in a fashionable way and capello did anything but that. He had alot of 1-0s and was knocked out of the CL early on.
Furthermore, at the end of the day madrid is madrid. They are arrogant and they want to have the best of everything. While capello is very well noted in Italy and some countries in europe for being a top notch coach, many countries will argue that there are better.
Mourinho is known worldwide as one of the best coaches in the world if not the best. That brings to madrid that arrogancy they desire. Thats why pellegrini was sacked, not because he did a poor job of coaching. Its that he was ridciulued falsely by the media in several occassions and that led to the people losing faith in him.
Mourinho is an expert in dealing with the media. So even if he has bad results, he can always defer the attention somewhere else and his status won't go down.
----
Now in terms of actual ability. Mourinho is by far the best coach on this planet. You can call his style boring or whatever you want but he is the complete package.
1) Discipline
2) Systems
3) Relationship
4) Media
5) Results
Furthermore,
Fabio has a
57% winning record in 573 games; mourinho has a
67% winning record in 463 games..
This alone speaks volumes! 67% is the best in the world. Better than ferguson, wenger, you name it.

There really is no comparison. If he wins the La Liga he'll be the first coach to have won it in all 3 big leagues.
though saying all this...I rank capello quite highly as well. He is no doubt in the top 5.
