Fabio Capello was appointed England manager in December 2007
England manager Fabio Capello has resigned, the Football Association says.
The Italian coach submitted his resignation during an hour-long meeting with FA chairman David Bernstein and FA general secretary Alex Horne at Wembley Stadium.
The meeting was called to discuss the decision to remove John Terry as England captain after he was charged with racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.
The FA website said he would leave his post "with immediate effect".
Mr Bernstein said: "I would like to stress that during today’s meeting and throughout his time as England Manager, Fabio has conducted himself in an extremely professional manner.
"We have accepted Fabio’s resignation, agreeing this is the right decision. We would like to thank Fabio for his work with the England team and wish him every success in the future."
