CumbrianRam Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Fabio Capello has confirmed he will quit as England coach after Euro 2012. After a couple of excellent performances against Bulgaria and Switzerland that have yielded six points, Capello was presumably bemused to be addressing questions about a new contract. But, he insisted there will not be one. "My contract is no problem. Absolutely. Yes," he said when asked whether he would be leaving after Euro 2012, repeating the assertion to make sure everyone understood. "We have to qualify first of course but after that I will be too old. Then I will want to live my life like a pensioner." After an abysmal World Cup performance, many pundits believe Capello was fortunate to remain in his £6million-a-year post. Heading into this qualifying double-header, there were still huge doubts over the 64-year-old's tenure, with most observers believing two poor results would force the Football Association to take decisive action. That the tally of seven goals in two games has been achieved despite the absence of skipper Rio Ferdinand and Chelsea duo John Terry and Frank Lampard through injury is even more impressive. Another victory against Montenegro at Wembley next month would put England in an excellent position to secure a place at the next European Championships in Poland and the Ukraine. It raised a theory that Capello might be persuaded to stay on, particularly as there is no obvious current replacement that fits the FA's stated desire for an Englishman.

Thornhill Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I get the feeling Pearce will step up after Fabio goes, but will only last a short period. Same old story of the assistant taking over and failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
