Capello decides captain's fate

England coach Fabio Capello stripped John Terry of his role as team capatian on Friday after reports of his alleged love affair with ex-partner of England team-mate Wayne Bridge. The final decision was left up to Capello, and was met with general approval by the press with headlines such as 'Grazie Signor Capello' and 'Terrevederci'.
After his 12 minute meeting with Terry Capello said "This is now over, it is finished. It is time to move on, but John Terry is still an important player for England." Capataincy of the team will be taken over by Rio Ferdinand.
The other Italian coach in Terry's career, Carlo Ancelotti of Chelsea, paid tribute to his "perfect'' captain after the club beat London rivals Arsenal on Sunday putting the Blues back on top of the Premier League.
