Fabio Capello: “London is a great city where you have everything”

Fabio Capello is adamant he made the right decision when he resigned as England manager last month. The Chelsea skipper will stand trial after this summer’s European Championships, but Capello wanted Terry - who he himself stripped of the captaincy prior to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa - to lead the side during the tournament, despite the court case hanging over his head. The 65-year-old left his role after the Football Association removed the captaincy from John Terry in light of allegations he racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League clash in October. Capello became England boss in late 2007 following the disastrous reign of Steve McLaren and guided the Three Lions to the next two major tournaments, but he was heavily criticised for the team’s poor showing in South Africa. 

Speaking to Italian TV programme Che tempo che fa, the Italian said, "The trial will be on July 9 and I asked them to wait for the case to be heard and then make a decision. Why should I take the armband off Terry, seeing as I had only just given it back to him after two years?" Despite this, however, the Italian insists he thoroughly enjoyed his time in England. 

And as the FA continue their search for a replacement in time for this summer’s European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, Capello also spoke about the job he vacated. The Italian has been linked with a move to Inter Milan, but he has insisted he has no interest in returning to management in his homeland. 

"It's a magnificent place to work and to play football,” he added. "It was a lovely experience. London is a great city where you have everything.” "Being England manager is an important role," he continued. "A very important role. You are always in the eye of the storm and have the media focused on you at all times but it's something beautiful." “I will only coach abroad if there is anything interesting,” he insisted. "I am a child of the world, I like to experience new countries and different cultures."
