England boss Capello says he will walk in 2012

England manager Fabio Capello has insisted he will walk in 2012 when his current contract expires.

The Italian told reporters after Tuesday's 3-1 Euro2012 qualifying win over Switzerland that he will not be entering any agreement for a contract extension with the England national team.

"My contract is no problem. Absolutely. Yes," he said when asked whether he would be leaving after Euro 2012.

"We have to qualify first of course but after that I will be too old. Then I will want to live my life like a pensioner."
