Signal of intent: Samuel Eto'o joined Anzhi this summer from Inter Milan

The FA, who last night confirmed the existence of the clause, insisted on the restriction because of Sven Goran Eriksson's embarrassing negotiations with former Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon in 2004.

Incredibly, Eriksson was given a new contract after that, but Capello will definitely be leaving England after next summer's tournament.

Capello, who has told friends he has unfinished business with England after their disastrous showing in last year's World Cup, has always insisted this will be his last job in football management.
