  • Fabio Capello

Fabio Capello commits to England until 2012.

The FA can confirm that Fabio Capello is committed to managing the England team until the 2012 European Championship.

An amendment to his employment contract was signed and exchanged today, with break clause options for both The FA and Fabio being removed.

Club England Chairman Sir Dave Richards said: "We're very pleased to have Fabio's commitment for another two years and it's good that we have been able to resolve this before the team flies to South Africa.

"Now we can all concentrate on the World Cup and give Fabio and the players our full support."

Fabio Capello added: "I am very happy about this and would like to thank Sir David Richards and The FA for their continued support and assurances about my future.

"I always wanted to stay until the end of my contract. In South Africa we are totally focused on the World Cup."

What Do You Think?

  • Congratulations on your appointment. I wish you every success with this high profile endeavour. I wonder if you would consider having some psychological support for the team at this point? I am not a wacky shrink - I am a counsellor practising in Westminster for an NHS doctor - but I do have an unusual treatment which I think would really help the team to focus positively and could encourage them to go forward to their next match with Slovenia. I suggest that the players would benefit from having individual treatments of Thought Field Therapy - a simple, safe, rapid and effective tapping therapy. Let me know if your are interested and I will try and locate someone for you in South Africa. I am willing to travel, even though I have appointments booked for next week as this is a crucial point in the competition. This therapy will help eliminate negativity and can boost confidence and help visualise success, the first steps to achieving a good result. I hope to hear back from you as time is short.
