Capello stands by resignation decision

Italian manager Fabio Capello has stood by his decision to quit as England manager. The former Real Madrid and Juventus coach quit his role after the FA stripped team captain John Terry of his captaincy.

Capello now maintains that he had no regrets, and that he would do the same again if he had to.


"I was very happy in England," the Italian said.


"It's a magnificent place to work and to play football - It was a lovely experience.


"London is a great city where you have everything.


"The rapport with clubs and players was great until the moment the John Terry situation happened. Why should I take the armband off Terry, seeing as I had only just given it back to him after two years?"
