Former AC Milan defender Stefano Nava says that the Football Association is to blame for Fabio Capello's decision to step down as England manager.
The 65-year-old announced his resignation on Wednesday after clashing with the FA over the decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy after the Chelsea man was charged with racially abusing Queens Park Rangers player Anton Ferdinand.
Nava, who played under Capello during his time at Milan, between 1992 and 1995, has no doubt that the FA is responsible for this situation and says that Capello's loss will hurt the Three Lions.
"This is all their [FA's] fault, Capello will be a huge loss to England," Nava told Goal.com.
"It is the same story as always: English people believe they are the masters of football, and this is the result."
The FA has announced that England Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce will take charge of the Three Lions' senior team for their friendly against the Netherlands in February.
