Fabio Capello: I resigned because I could not permit interference

Fabio Capello, speaking for the first time since his dramatic resignation as England‘s manager on Wednesday, has confirmed he chose to walk away because he “could not permit interference from the Football Association in my work”.
The FA chairman, David Bernstein, said on Thursday that Capello had been unwilling to accept the decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy due to the defender’s pending racism trial in July. Terry denies a charge of racially abusing the Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.
Capello said he felt “relaxed” about his decision to leave. “I acted the way I always have in football. I cannot permit interference from the FA in my work. I have always been clear who should manage the team and the dressing room, and who has to take decisions.”
However, he also issued a statement of thanks to the FA for its approach towards him before the Terry confrontation.
“I would like to thank the players, the staff and the FA for the professional approach they have shown during the years I have been manager of the national team. I would like to send a special greeting to all the fans who have backed the team and my work. To all of them I hope they achieve their highest sporting goals.”
