Fabio Capello resignation

The FA confirms that Fabio Capello has resigned as England Manager.

Fabio Capello has resigned as England manager, the Football Association has confirmed.

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

David Bond, BBC Sports Editor, analyses it:

Clearly Fabio Capello's reaction to the FA's decision to remove John Terry as England captain, and his decision to air his frustrations on Italian television, have been the final straw. I was told if Capello was prepared to back down then it probably would have been brushed under the carpet and he would have continued until after Euro 2012. It seems he has gone into the meeting, felt his authority had been undermined and could not continue. It has been a seismic shock for the England team and everybody involved in it.
