Capello: 'I rejected Italy'

Fabio Capello has revealed that he rejected the chance to manage the Italy national team.

The former England boss is currently leading Russia, but was linked with a switch to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.

"Could I be on the Azzurri bench? We already talked about it, but I said no," he told Metronews. "I am absolutely concentrated on my work in Russian until 2018."

Russia are currently top of their World Cup qualifying group.
