The decision of the head coach of the England national football team Fabio Capello to leave his post with dignity admiration, said the former Vice President of FIFA and ex-president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Vyacheslav Koloskov.
On Wednesday evening, at the Wembley stadium, a meeting of Capello, the head of the Football Association of England (FA) David Bernstine and the Secretary General of Alex Khorn, took place. On it, an Italian specialist announced the departure from the England team , which he headed in 2008.
Capello was extremely annoyed by the FA decision to deprive the captain's bandage in the national team of John Terry, who is accused of racist statements against the defender of Kuins Park Rangers Anton Ferdinand. He openly spoke out about his disagreement in an interview with Italian television, after which the FA leaders caused a coach to the carpet.
“Judging by the information that I have from public sources, Capello’s act quoted,” RIA Novosti quotes Koloskova. “He did not recede from his principles, thanks to which he achieved many large victories in football. If the federation intervenes in coaching, then this is abnormal, because the determination of the captain of the head coach is, regardless of the situation. It has now developed around Terry and the upcoming court hearing.
The authorities could recommend Capello to deprive his player of the captain's bandage, but not make a decision for him. The head coach is closer to the team, and no one knows the atmosphere better inside the team and a person who will best cope with captain's functions, ”added the honorary president of the RFU.
