England manager Fabio Capello refused to answer questions about his decision to axe John Terry as captain at the qualifying draw for Euro 2012.
Capello stripped the Chelsea defender of the captaincy on Friday following allegations he had an affair with an England team-mate’s ex-girlfriend. But when quizzed on Terry and the decision to name Rio Ferdinand as his captain, Capello gave a brief reply. “I want to speak about the draw. Nothing else,” he said. “I spoke with John Terry, you all know why. It was a private conversation. No other questions. I am concentrated on football.” Capello dismissed Terry as skipper in a reportedly brief meeting at Wembley on Friday, saying in a statement that “after much thought I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry”.
