Furious Fabio denies he is spying for Italy ahead of clash with England

Fabio Capello has gone ‘crazy’ at suggestions he has been helping Italy prepare for Sunday’s showdown against England.

 Capello’s son, Pierfilippo, said the Italian former England manager is torn over which country to support.

 Just before Capello reached Miami for Saturday’s charity match with Leo Messi, he was told of reports claiming he might betray England after four years coaching the country. Who the **** is writing this ****?’ Capello demanded to know.

 ‘I will sue them.’ Pierfilippo said: ‘Fabio went crazy when I spoke to him about this. We will start legal action against anyone who has suggested he has been helping Italy’s coach in any way. 

They haven’t even spoken for a year. ‘It is an insult to Fabio to suggest he would reveal anything after four years working for the FA.

 ‘He still has many close relationships with people at the FA. He wouldn’t do it, he values what he had with the England players too much.

’ So has Capello been working for England against his native country? ‘No,’ said his son, who acts as his father’s agent and part of his legal team.

 'Fabio doesn’t know the Italy players any better than Roy Hodgson does. He hasn’t been helping either camp, though he very much wants to watch the game.

 ‘I genuinely think his loyalties are divided.

 He is a proud Italian and played for his country, yet he wouldn’t be able to support Italy against England without having some trouble in his heart about it. 

I will support Italy but I think my father is 50-50.’ Capello led England to Euro 2012 qualification in the first place.
