Fabio Capello is to continue as England manager despite the team's poor World Cup showing. The decision was made after a meeting by the Club England Board in which Sir Dave Richards, Alex Horne, Sir Trevor Brooking and Adrian Bevington unanimously agreed that Capello should continue to lead England. Sir Dave Richards said: "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." "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." The Football Association formally approved the decision saying: "It is the right decision and will allow us now to rebuild for the future with Fabio leading us forward." Following the decision, Capello said: "I can assure the fans I am now fully focused on our European qualifying fixtures, starting with the friendly against Hungary in August." "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," he added.
