Capello plans to retire after Euro 2012

09 September 2010, 01:00

Fabio Capello has indicated that coaching England will be his last job in football. The 64-year-old Italian's contract with England's Football Association expires after the 2012 European Championship.

After then, Capello says: "I will be too old. I want to live my life like a pensioner."

Capello kept his job after the World Cup despite England being ousted in the second round by Germany in June.

England's Euro 2012 qualification campaign has begun with two wins and Capello believes that there is "a new atmosphere" in the camp.

Before taking charge of England in January 2008, Capello led Real Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus and Roma to titles.
