The England football manager Fabio Capello has resigned. The Italian has been in dispute with the Football Association after it removed John Terry as England captain without consulting him first. Capello publicly criticised the decision on Terry, who's facing charges of racially abusing another player. Capello had a meeting with the Football Association this afternoon. The former chief executive of the FA, Brian Barwick, said the meeting had ended amicably.
英格兰足球主帅法比奥·卡佩罗辞职,自从足球协会未经他同意就辞去英格兰队队长约翰·特里以来,这位意大利人(指法比奥·卡佩罗)一直与足协不和。卡佩罗曾就特里一事当众指责过,特里因种族歧视其他队员被指控。卡佩罗今天下午与足球会面,足协前总裁布莱恩·巴威克说,这次会议愉快地结束。
"My understanding, and I have spoken to key people at the FA, I understand that Fabio actually resigned, that there was no ill feeling, that he left on very good terms, that the whole meeting was played out with proper decorum."
“我已与足协主要人物谈过话,我知道卡佩罗确实辞职了,没有任何恶意,他友好地离开了,整个会议很得体合理。”
