Fabio Capello defends his decision to resign as the England manager over the John Terry and Anton Ferdinand saga.

Fabio Capello has defended his decision to resign as England manager following John Terry's removal as England captain.

The Chelsea skipper was stripped of the armband by the Football Association after he allegedly racially abused Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.

Despite the European Championships being on the horizon, Capello took a stand against the move and left the Three Lions post in February.

"One is innocent until proven guilty. Why should I take the armband off Terry, seeing as I had only just given it back to him after two years? The trial will be on July 9th and I asked them to wait for the case to be heard and then make a decision," Capello told Rai Tre TV.

"I was very happy in England. London is a great city where you have everything. It's a magnificent place to work and to play football. It was a lovely experience.

"The rapport with clubs and players was great until the moment the John Terry situation happened."

Capello won 28 out of his 44 matches as England manager between 2008 and 2012.
