Capello set to discuss England future

30 May 2010 21:59

Fabio Capello will hold talks with new Club England chairman Sir David Richards on Monday which are expected to conclude in confirmation he will remain as England coach until after Euro 2012.

Capello had reached a verbal agreement with Lord Triesman before the former Football Association chairman was forced to resign, 24 hours before England headed to Irdning at the start of their training camp.

Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has exploited the uncertainty created by Lord Triesman's departure to announce that Capello is top of his own hit-list to replace now-departed treble-winning coach Jose Mourinho.

With an annual salary of £9million - 50% more than Capello gets from the FA - being mentioned, talk has increasingly surrounded the 63-year-old, who in fairness has never given any indication of a desire to leave the England job halfway through his four-year contract.

Capello left Graz to see his mother in Italy immediately after Sunday's 2-1 win over Japan.

But he is eager to get his future resolved and a resolution should be known at some point in the next 48 hours as Richards makes contact.

"I always say the same things," Capello said.

"My name is always in the newspapers. My name has been on the radio. But I can't say anything about it. I have not spoken with anyone from Inter Milan.

"I spoke with the first chairman (Lord Triesman). Now I wait to speak to the other one. I need to speak with the new chairman of Club England, Sir David Richards."
