Capello quits as England manager
Fabio Capello has resigned as England manager, leaving the national football team without a leader just months before the Euro 2012 championships.
Capello quit after a meeting with FA chairman David Bernstein and general secretary Alex Horne at Wembley.
Explaining his decision, the Italian stressed that the FA had publicly destroyed his reputation. They failed to consult Capello before taking the captain's armband from John Terry, who is facing a racism trial.
Capello said on Italian television that was absolutely the wrong move. He had taken over as England boss in 2008 after England failed to reach the last European Championships. Despite a disappointing 2010 World Cup campaign, Capello went on as helmsman.

The resignation came on the same day that the man most favored to replace him, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, was cleared of tax evasion in a London court.
Redknapp said he was relieved he had been cleared and the case was finally over.
Former England managers Graham Taylor and Sven-Goran Eriksson both said Redknapp would be a logical successor.
Yet another candidate to take the helm of the team might be Guus Hiddink. The Dutch specialist is now jobless after failing to bring the Turkish national side to Euro 2012.

Some of England's top football stars are 'shocked' and 'sad' at Fabio Capello's decision. Several members of the squad have taken to the social networking site Twitter, to express their feelings.
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney wrote, "Gutted Capello has quit. Good guy and top coach."
