London - England's Football Association has told Fabio Capello that it will take two weeks to decide whether to retain the Italian as coach of the national team.??
Capello says he "absolutely" wants to stay on despite England's elimination from the Soccer World Cup by Germany after meeting with FA chairperson Dave Richards.
Capello says "he told me that he needs two weeks time to decide. I said I can be for the next season the manager of England."
Capello led England to nine straight wins in qualifying but his team exited the second round Sunday following a 4-1 loss - England's heaviest ever at a World Cup.
Capello added he had refused "a lot of opportunities to be a manager of important clubs because I like to stay here."
