Real: Capello did not offer resignation

Real Madrid have denied suggestions that coach Fabio Capello has offered to resign.

Spanish media had reported that Capello had handed in his notice and his final match in charge of the team would be tomorrow’s Champions League fixture with Bayern Munich.

However, Madrid board spokesman Miguel Angel Arroyo dismissed the report as a “rumour” during a press conference at the Bernabeu stadium.

He said: “It is a rumour. Fabio Capello has not presented his resignation either verbally, or in written form.”
