Football Association board member, Phil Gartside, has come out in support of Fabio Capello and says he expects the England manager to keep his job.



The Football Association is considering whether to sack Capello after England exited the World Cup, following a 4-1 defeat to Germany on Sunday.



However, Gartside says England have the best man for the job.



The Bolton chairman says he had spoken to two other members of the Football Association’s 11-strong board, who also backed Capello.



The Football Association has told their Italian coach, who has two years to run on his contract, that he would have to wait another two weeks to find out if he has a future as England boss.
