Capello considers future after England exit

Fabio Capello plans to add another English coach to his back-room staff as the England manager looks to the future after his team's woeful performance at the World Cup.Capello revealed the move at a meeting with the Club England board on Thursday, when the Italian also vowed to carry out a review into England's second round exit in South Africa.England won just one of their four matches at the World Cup and were thrashed 4-1 by Germany in the last 16, but Capello has signalled his determination to learn from that chastening experience.

Former England defender Jamie Carragher gave his backing to national coach Fabio Capello on Monday ahead of the friendly international against Hungary on Wednesday.The Italian has come under constant criticism since England's mediocre performance at the World Cup in South Africa ended in the last 16 with a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Germany.Carragher, however, who came out of international retirement to play for England in South Africa, insisted the players had not been up to standard.

Fabio Capello is to remain in his post as England manager despite the team's World Cup flop, the Football Association said Friday.Capello's position had been called into question after England were knocked out of the World Cup at the last 16 stage by arch-rivals Germany in an embarrassing 4-1 defeat.But the FA, dismissing talk they might sack the 64-year-old Italian, said Capello would stay as national team manager and that he remains the best man for the job.

Fabio Capello has given an honest assessment of England?s dismal performance at the World Cup and admits he would not have blamed the Football Association if they had sacked him. Much was expected from Capello and England in South Africa following their impressive qualification campaign.But the England players produced a series of dismal displays as they bowed out in the second round following a 4-1 defeat against Germany and Capello was accused of failing to get the best out of his squad.

John Terry was sacked as England captain on Friday as head coach Fabio Capello reacted ruthlessly to the Chelsea defender's alleged extra-marital affair with the ex-girlfriend of international team-mate Wayne Bridge.After a brief meeting with Terry at Football Association (FA) headquarters at Wembley, Capello said he had decided to take the captaincy away from the centreback in the overall interests of the squad he will take to the World Cup in South Africa in June and July.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has told critics of Fabio Capello to lay off the under-pressure England manager.Capello has been subjected to widespread criticism from fans and pundits in the aftermath of England's woeful performances at the World Cup in South Africa.The Italian has been made the main scapegoat for England's second round exit and there is little sympathy for his claims that he has learnt from the experience and will make changes for the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, which gets underway with matches against Bulgaria and Switzerland in September.

Fabio Capello has given an insight into how he sees the future England as he picks over the ashes of his team's miserable World Cup exit.The England manager, who says he wants to stay in the post, has been told he must wait two weeks before his employers, the Football Association (FA) decide whether he will complete the two remaining years of his current contract, which takes him up to the end of the Euro 2012 finals.

England manager Fabio Capello alone will make a decision on John Terry's future as England captain, the Football Association (FA) said on Monday.The 29-year-old Chelsea defender's position has been called into question following reports the married father of twins had an affair with the ex-girlfriend of former team-mate Wayne Bridge.There are now concerns the issue could have a damaging effect on England's bid to win the World Cup in South Africa later this year but the FA were adamant they would leave the matter to Capello.
