Didn't see that coming at all.

The Football Association can confirm that Fabio Capello has today resigned as England Manager.

This follows a meeting involving FA Chairman David Bernstein, FA General Secretary Alex Horne and Fabio Capello at Wembley Stadium.

The discussions focused on The FA Board’s decision to remove the England team captaincy from John Terry, and Fabio Capello’s response through an Italian broadcast interview.

In a meeting for over an hour, Fabio’s resignation was accepted and he will leave the post of England Manager with immediate effect.

David Bernstein said: “I would like to stress that during today’s meeting and throughout his time as England Manager, Fabio has conducted himself in an extremely professional manner. We have accepted Fabio’s resignation, agreeing this is the right decision. We would like to thank Fabio for his work with the England team and wish him every success in the future.”

A media conference with David Bernstein and the Club England Management team will take place at Wembley on Thursday at 12 noon.

The FA will not be making any further comment until the media conference.

too soon for Harry?
If Spurs were doing crap, then no question, but theres no way the chairman will let him go now!

I would like to nominate Woy Hodgson.

Fair play to him, the media's treatment of him has been frankly shocking throughout his tenure.

I wonder how the media will spin it when Harry fails with England in the Euros.

yabadabado

at least they have their excuse now when they don't win the competition.

daithijjj

Watch the wheel turn people. Redknapp now to be built up by media as the messiah and starting from the minute he walks in the door he will systematically be dismantled by the same people who build him up in tomorrow's papers.

Fair play to Capello, admire the guy to be honest, stuck to his guns and knows that team will do nothing imho.

mike65

How Italian.

Harry your time has come! (or is it Stuart Pearce?!)

EdenHazard

WTF, hope redknapp gets it nd england knocked out in the group

eh i dunno

Someone looking a gaffer??

MagicMarker

Sorry spurs.

H Redknapp 8/15
J Mourinho 9/1
R Hodgson 11/1
Alan Pardew 14/1
M O'Neill 16/1
A Wenger 16/1
S Pearce 18/1
G Hiddink 18/1
C Ancelotti 20/1
Not much in the betting there.I suppose they will try to get Harry as part time until the end of the season and then make him permanent.
Hiddink is the only one of them not in a job at the moment.

starviewadams

Arry as England manager then,only if the FA pay him cash in hand though presumably.

darkman2

So...are they going to employ the man who gave his dog an overseas bank account?


Riiiiight

Why can't Redknapp take the England job but also stay with Spurs till May .

As an Arsenal fan, if 'arry quits Spurs to take this on, I'm gonna crack up

Will I Amnt

Redknapp would be mad to walk out on Spurs now,he's doing a fantastic job there.
To walk out on them and into that thankless poison chalice of a job would be madness.

Amirani

I don't think they should make a permanent appointment yet. Give it to someone for the Euros and search for a long-term successor afterwards. Redknapp would probably be the sensible choice for the Euros.

mikeym

Why has he resigned?

Surely not after John Terry???

Jimmy Iovine

I know that 'Arry pretty much has the job in the bag but I'm genuinely considering applying for it. If anything it'll keep my mother happy for another week or two. She keeps nagging me about applying for jobs.

My FAI Kick Start 1 certificate will surely get me far in the process. Also I am able to read and write, which is another plus.

Harry to get the job, but to stay with Spurs too I'd say!!

Then he'll decide his future after the Euros.

The FA is a combination of the 'cribbers corner' in the most distasteful golf club you can imagine crossed with the most expensive kindergarten imaginable. Get a feel for the press, move on changing opinion, totally and completely spineless and its mirrored on the pitch for as long as ive been alive.

starviewadams

Can't they just appoint 'Arry or Mourinho in May,and have Stuart Pearce take the friendly in between then.

Not really a way to judge his credentials,Spurs is the biggest job he's had and he's doing exceptionally well there.

Compared to McLaren,keegan and Hoddle?

the realpigiron

Capello resigned over John Terry losing the captaincy? I know he may have thought it was interference, but surely there's more important things to take such drastic action over? Must be more to this than meets the eye, to quit over John Terry's captaincy is daft.

I was always hoping we'd draw England in the group stages, felt they were there for the taking all along. That will be the case even more so now I'd say.
