Fabio Capello has gone ‘crazy’ at suggestions he has been helping Italy prepare for Sunday’s showdown against England.

Capello’s son, Pierfilippo, said the Italian former England manager is torn over which country to support.

Just before Capello reached Miami for Saturday’s charity match with Leo Messi, he was told of reports claiming he might betray England after four years coaching the country.

Denial: Fabio Capello (right) refuted suggestions he was spying for Italy

‘Who the **** is writing this ****?’ Capello demanded to know. ‘I will sue them.’

Pierfilippo said: ‘Fabio went crazy when I spoke to him about this. We will start legal action against anyone who has suggested he has been helping Italy’s coach in any way. They haven’t even spoken for a year.

‘It is an insult to Fabio to suggest he would reveal anything after four years working for the FA.

‘He still has many close relationships with people at the FA. He wouldn’t do it, he values what he had with the England players too much.’
