Fabio Capello quit as England coach Wednesday just four months before the European Championship, after publicly challenging the Football Association's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy. The Italian, whose contract was due to expire after Euro 2012, walked out on the job after four years following an hour-long meeting with FA chairman David Bernstein and general secretary Alex Horne at Wembley Stadium. “We have accepted Fabio's resignation, agreeing this is the right decision,” Bernstein said. “We would like to thank Fabio for his work with the England team and wish him every success in the future.” The former Real Madrid and Juventus coach replaced Steve McClaren in the job after England failed to qualify for Euro 2008. Capello quit hours after Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, who was the favorite to replace Capello, was cleared of tax evasion by a jury.
