Everton fullback Baines sorry to see Capello go

Everton fullback Leighton Baines was disappointed to see Fabio Capello resign as England coach.

All of Baines’ six caps so far came under Capello, while he was a regular squad member throughout qualifying.

And the defender told evertontv: “I am disappointed that Fabio Capello has resigned. He is a good manager and a good man. I will always be grateful to him for making me a part of the international set-up and I obviously wish him well with whatever he decides to do in the future.

“But when you’re a footballer you often find that managers move on and as professionals we just have to concentrate on the playing side. Nobody is certain of a place in the England squad, regardless of who picks the team, so for me I’ll just do what I’ve always done and work as hard as I can for Everton and see what happens.”
