Fabio Capello has denied taking the easy way out by resigning from the England manager's post.

The Italian quit on Wednesday after a meeting with the Football Association chairman David Bernstein over their decision to go over his head and strip John Terry of the England captaincy.

The Italian was due to stand down after this summer's Euro 2012 finals but dismissed suggestions by departing early he had taken the easy way out.

Speaking to Italian television show Striscia La Notizia, he said: "I wasn't escaping, I left because there was a misunderstanding.

"It had been going well but there are times in which you decide to leave."
