England manager Fabio Capello was set for talks about his own future with the Football Association Monday after publicly condemning their decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy. Terry, 31, was relieved of his duties Thursday due to an ongoing court case in which he is accused of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers center-back Anton Ferdinand during a match last year. However, the Chelsea center-back remains available for England selection. But a former FA insider said Capello, by trying to prevent Terry retiring from international football before this year's European Championships in Poland and the Ukraine, had put his own job in jeopardy. David Davies, who was the FA's international director, told the BBC that Capello, who earns a reported £6 million-a-year as England manager, may have breached his contract with his comments. “It is being taken very seriously by the FA because it may be that Fabio Capello has breached his contract,” said Davies. “You have to ask what his motive is. You have to suspect he wants to prevent John Terry retiring as a player before Euro 2012 but there are wider issues.” Capello was angered the FA had stripped Terry of the captaincy before his court case had been concluded and made his feelings clear on a football program on Italian Rai public television Sunday. “I don't agree with the decision, I spoke with the chairman (Bernstein) telling him that in my opinion Terry cannot be punished until the court's decided – that's the civil justice, not the sporting one – that Terry has done that which he is accused of,” Capello said. “For that I felt it was right that Terry should keep the captain's armband.”
