Capello resigned after a meeting with FA chairman David Bernstein and general secretary Alex Horne at Wembley.

An FA statement read: "The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England manager."

On Monday, the Italian publicly challenged the FA's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy.

much tho' I want england to win everything, let's be honest, it's never gonna happen. We breed stupid footballers here, good at running and some have a certain animal cunning in their play, but they're never going to challenge the great national teams.

So I'd hate to see another good manager leave an excellent team, especially one he's painstakingly built over 3 years just at the point where they're making a serious challenge in the top 4.

A clever decision, the inevitable humiliation of our performance at the euros would have damaged his reputation as a manager. This way he goes out looking principled and resolute.
