Capello: Resigned on Wednesday

Capello: Resigned on Wednesday

The Italian remained tight-lipped on his reasons for leaving the post after four years in charge, instead offering his thanks to all involved during his reign.

"I would like to thank all players, staff and Football Association for the professionalism they have shown during my years as manager of the English national team," the Italian said.

"A very special thanks to all the supporters: they've always supported the team and me in our job. I wish all of them every success in achieving all their sporting goals."

The 65-year-old is widely believed to have quit after feeling undermined by the FA's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy as he awaits trial on charges of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand.

Capello made it clear in comments to the Italian press at the weekend that he was unhappy that the decision had been made without his consultation.

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
