The England FA fears Fabio Capello will quit his job after the World Cup.

The Daily Mail says Capello's £6million-a-year contract runs for four years, until the end of the 2012 European Championship, but senior staff at Soho Square have expressed concerns that the Italian will exercise the break clause in his deal next summer.

Capello, with seven wins out of seven in World Cup qualifying, has transformed performances and made the England set-up far more professional. Unsurprisingly, the FA want him at the helm for as long as possible.

But the worry at the top of the governing body is that Capello is devoting all his attention to the challenge in South Africa and will not have the same enthusiasm, nor the desire, for the Euros in Poland and Ukraine, which he sees more as a build-up period towards the next World Cup.
