England coach Capello committed to 2012 campaign

England coach Fabio Capello says he is committed to the 2012 European Championship campaign.

With the Euro 2012 qualifiers pitting England against Switzerland, Bulgaria, Wales and Montenegro, he has no desire to abandon the project yet, no matter what fate awaits England in South Africa next month.

"I have a contract with the FA and it will finish when they decide to sack me," he reflected. "I love this club and love this country but I don't think about my future. My future is the World Cup."

He added: "Managing a national team has been a new experience for me.

"I discovered new things about what I have to do and the relationship between the players and the manager.

"Now we are arriving at the most important moment. I understand the pressure, the confidence of the country in this team and it is really exciting.

"I am very focused."
