Fabio Capello's future as England manager will be in real doubt if the Three Lions fail to qualify from the group stages at World Cup 2010.

According to the News of the World, the Italian manager could walk away from his £6 million-a-year post if England fail to make the last 16, as his release clause was removed before the tournament in South Africa in light of interest from Inter Milan.

Having drawn against both the USA and Algeria in their opening two Group C games, England now need to win their final match against Slovenia to ensure safe passage to the knockout stages.

It is also believed general manager Franco Baldini is taking stock of his position as assistant, amid interest from several top European clubs who want to take him on board as a techinical director.

After the dissapointment of Friday night, where England drew goalless with Algeria, Capello was said to be very upset with his side's performance and he'll be looking for major improvements in Wednesday's showdown with Slovenia.

The England squad returned to training with a clean slate this morning, and Capello is keen to put things right as England look to progress in South Africa.
