I was left with no option but to quit, admits Capello
OUTGOING England manager Fabio Capello revealed last night that the Football Association left him with no option but to resign after they opted to relieve John Terry of the captaincy.
FA chairman David Bernstein admitted yesterday that Capello had been unwilling to accept the decision to remove Terry as England skipper due to the Chelsea defender’s pending racism trial in July.
“I acted the way I always have in football,” said Capello. “I cannot permit interference from the FA in my work. I have always been clear who should manage the team and who has to take decisions. I would like to thank the players, the staff and the FA for the professional approach they have shown during the years I have been manager of the national team.”
