Rome - England coach Fabio Capello has expressed disapproval with the English Football Association's decision to strip John Terry of the national team's captaincy.

Terry was removed as captain on Friday because his racial abuse trial will not be held until after the European Championship.

Capello told Italy's state broadcaster RAI on Sunday that he “absolutely” doesn't agree with FA chairperson David Bernstein's decision.

Capello said: “I spoke with the chairman and I told him that I don't think someone can be punished until it becomes official.” He added: “It’s going to be civil justice, not sports justice, to decide if John Terry committed that crime.”

“I thought it fair that John Terry keeps the captain's armband,” he said. - Sapa-AP
