FABIO CAPELLO last night insisted he will definitely quit after Euro 2012.

Trevor Brooking, the FA's director of football, hinted the England boss could carry on after his £6million-a-year deal runs out.

But Capello, 65, who is in Kiev for today's Euro finals draw, maintained: "This is it for me as England manager — but I hope that at the end of my career will be one trophy.

"I hope the players have got the mental strength to go and win a tournament."

Brooking had said earlier: "Fabio's contract ends in the summer and the mindset is for change — but you never say never." But the Italian's response means England will have a new man in charge when the World Cup qualifiers kick off in September.

Spurs' Harry Redknapp is still firm favourite at 7-4 with bookies William Hill with FA bosses keen to appoint an Englishman.

The next nearest home-grown challenger is Newcastle's Alan Pardew at 10/1.
