Fabio Capello is to stay on as England manager despite England’s woeful World Cup campaign, the FA has confirmed.
Capello found himself under pressure after England’s run in the tournament ended with a 4-1 defeat to old foes Germany.This week the Italian was told the FA would decide on his future in two weeks.
“We remain convinced that Fabio is the best man for the job,” said Club England chairman Sir Dave Richards.
Capello, whose contract doesnt expire until Euro 2012 is worth an alleged £6m a year, has hinted that some of the players who flopped in South Africa might find themselves replaced as he looks to blood younger players during the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers.
“I can assure the fans I am now fully focused on our European qualifying fixtures, starting with the friendly against Hungary in August,” he stated. “We will look to introduce new players to give the team new energy and I will use all my experience to take England forward. “I am extremely proud to be the England manager, it means so much to me and I am determined to succeed.”
