Fabio Capello revealed that his future with the England team as manager will be decided in two weeks, after he completes a series of meetings with Sir David Richards, the England chairman.
The manager’s future was cast into the wind after England had a disappointing performance at the World Cup, facing defeat 4-1 against Germany in the second round.
Capello stated that he has already discussed his potential future with Sir David Richards, and that a decision will be made in two weeks. He said that he wants to stay, and that he has refused many potential opportunities in order to stay, but he will have to decide with the England chairman.
He also said that the World Cup was a valuable learning experience and that the team understands much more now that the tournament is complete. He continued to explain that the team is very tired, and that they need a winter break, which Germany is afforded due to their shorter season.
When asked further about the players’ performance in South Africa, Capello stated that he was concerned about his players and that it breaks down to how each player is doing physically by the time they reach the play-offs.
He also said that they are not happy with the performance, and that while Rooney played some excellent games, you cannot just exemplify the performance of one player to represent the team.
