England coach Fabio Capello disagrees with the decision by English soccer authorities to remove John Terry as national team captain.

Capello told Italy’s state broadcaster RAI on Sunday he “absolutely” disapproves of the ruling by Football Association chairman David Bernstein.

Capello says he spoke with the chairman and told him he doesn’t think “someone can be punished until it becomes official.”
