da wazamba： The FA have confirmed that Fabio Capello has resigned from his role as England manager with immediate effect.
The Italian coach was displeased by the governing body’s actions in regards to John Terry’s captaincy stripping, and previously told media in his homeland that he disagreed with the Chelsea defender losing the skippers armband.
A statement on the FA official website has confirmed the news.
“The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England manager.
“This follows a meeting involving FA chairman David Bernstein, FA general secretary Alex Horne and Fabio Capello at Wembley Stadium.
The discussions focused on the FA board’s decision to remove the England team captaincy from John Terry, and Fabio Capello’s response through an Italian broadcast interview.
“In a meeting for over an hour, Fabio’s resignation was accepted and he will leave the post of England manager with immediate effect.
“I would like to stress that during today’s meeting and throughout his time as England manager, Fabio has conducted himself in an extremely professional manner.
“We have accepted Fabio’s resignation, agreeing this is the right decision. We would like to thank Fabio for his work with the England team and wish him every success in the future,” the statement concluded.
Bookmakers have installed Harry Redknapp as favourite to take up the national position, especially since he was cleared of tax evasion charges, however Sky Sports have stated that Guus Hiddink may also be in the offing.
