Capello: I haven't spoken to Inter

Fabio Capello and the FA are united in their desire to get the England manager's contract sorted out before the World Cup.

The departure of Jose Mourinho from Inter Milan and Lord Triesman from his post as chairman of the FA has raised unwanted uncertainty over Capello's position.

Having shaken hands with Lord Triesman on a proposal to remove a post-World Cup escape clause on his £6million-a-year contract that runs through until the end of Euro 2012, Capello now wants reassurances the men who matter within the FA think exactly the same way.

Capello returned to Italy after England's 2-1 win over Japan in Graz to see his mother.

But he will take a call from Club England chairman Sir David Richards which the FA hope will reach a positive conclusion, and apparently Capello as well.

"The situation will be clear in two days when I will have spoken with Sir David Richards," said Capello. "I shook the hand of Lord Triesman but I have not written anything.

"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."

Although Capello tends to respond to questions about his future with the claim that should England fail to match expectations in South Africa next month, he could easily find himself surplus to requirements, such a scenario was always unlikely to unfold.

And new Club England managing director Adrian Bevington has confirmed that is the FA's position.

"We will be speaking with Fabio and going over the previous conversations that his advisors had with Lord Triesman about us wanting Fabio to stay until after Euro 2012," he said.

"That is still our position. We have not changed on that whatsoever.

"Clearly there have been changes at the top of the organisation in recent weeks and clearly it is very important to Fabio that he hears that directly from the people who will be leading the England structure going forward.

"Sir David Richards has spoken to Roger Burden, who is the acting chairman of the FA as a whole.

"Roger, with the rest of the board, has agreed that the Club England structure should be run as previously agreed, with Sir David Richards as chairman of Club England and myself as managing director."
