Fabio Capello has said that his future as England manager will be decided in two weeks after he holds talks with Club England chairman Sir David Richards.

Capello's future was thrown into doubt after England's lacklustre display at the World Cup, culminating in a 4-1 defeat to second round opponents Germany.

"I spoke with Sir David Richards and in the next two weeks we will decide. I said I can be the manager of England next season but we have to decide. I absolutely want to stay," said Capello.

"I am happy with the meeting with Sir David Richards. I have refused a lot of opportunties because I want to stay here, I like this job.

Capello said the World Cup had been a valuable learning experience for him in the England job.

"I understand a lot after this tournament, because the performance was not what we wanted. We were very tired.

"We need a winter break. Germany always arrive in second half of season very well [because they have a winter break]. But it's not my job to decide that."

"When I chose the players, I followed them all for a long time. I took the best players for a job."

When asked further about the reason for England's capitulation in South Africa Capello expressed great concern for the condition of his players.

"I think you can decide on a different style to 4-4-2, but it always depends on the players. We beat Germany in Germany playing 4-4-2 but not here. I think it is down to the physical situation of the players why we lost, not the formation."

"We are not happy. Lampard's goal was okay. When you get back to 2-2 the motivation is completely different but the third goal for Germany was crucial."

"Wayne Rooney played well some games, but you can't speak about one player. All the players were not as good as I know, they didn't play as fast or as quick as they can. In games against Mexico, Japan , the game here, USA, Algeria and Germany we played well but not as fast as we can."
