Capello to remain England manager

Capello saw England humbled by Germany in the World Cup

Fabio Capello is to continue as England manager despite England's disastrous World Cup campaign, the Football Association has confirmed.

The Italian, 64, found himself under pressure after England's campaign culminated in a 4-1 loss to Germany.

On Monday he was told he would learn his fate in two weeks, only to be given full FA backing four days later.

"We remain convinced that Fabio is the best man for the job," said Club England chairman Sir Dave Richards.

And Capello hinted that some of the players who underperformed 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."

Capello's position had appeared to be in the balance after his side were humbled by Germany to end a World Cup campaign that never truly got going.

In the immediate aftermath of the exit there were calls for a new man to take charge, with Alan Shearer among those suggesting Capello would be replaced by the time England face Hungary in August.

However, Capello stated that he was keen to remain in the post at a media conference on Monday and, with senior FA members including David Sheepshanks and Phil Gartside publicly backing him this week, the association has decided Capello is still the right man for the job.

"We are all still extremely disappointed at our performance in South Africa, and we believed it was important that we took some time to reflect on everything in a calm and considered manner back in England," Richards added.

"He went into the World Cup with a reputation as one of World football's finest managers and we are confident Fabio will benefit from his first international tournament experience and this will undoubtedly make us all stronger for the Euro 2012 campaign."
