Capello will stay in England job - for the golf

England boss Fabio Capello has no plans of leaving the job after the World Cup.

The Mirror says the Italian has become hooked on the sport since coming into the country and pals reveal that his obsession is so great that it is why he won't quit as the national football coach.

Capello is so crazy on golf that he plays a couple of times a week, has brought his handicap down to single figures and even has a putter and a practice green at his FA office.

The Three Lions chief is so caught up in his new passion that he talks about it in his spare time - even MORE than football according to some of his closest associates.

One top England source revealed: "Fabio is a private guy and also a competitive sportsman. He played a bit of golf before he came to England, but since he has arrived it has taken over his spare time.

"Fabio spends more hours playing, practising and talking about golf than you could imagine. The fact he is good at the game also keeps him happy."
