Fabio Capello just can't stay away from controversy it seems.
First the England manager saw his Euro 2012 plans wrecked by a three-game ban for talisman Wayne Rooney.
Then his captain John Terry was caught up in racism storm.
And now he has upset his son's wedding plans by England organising a friendly with world champions Spain.
It means Capello will miss his younger son Pierfilippo tying the knot with long-term partner Tiziana in Milan on Saturday - the same day as the England match at Wembley.
The friendly was originally scheduled for Friday but Spain insisted that the kick off
was moved back 24 hours to give their Barcelona contingent more time to recover
from Wednesday's Copa del Rey game against L’Hospitalet.
The rules oblige
Barcelona to play at least seven recognised first-team players in the tie.
Capello
forgot to tell his right-hand man Franco Baldini about the wedding
plans when he organised the game with the Spanish federation.
And
Pierfilippo, a sports lawyer who works in Milan and negotiated his
father’s contract with the FA four years ago, said that the family had
been able to see the funny side.
He told
The Independent: 'It [Capello missing the wedding] is not a problem,
absolutely not. He is a football manager first; he has been that ever
since I was a child and sometimes being a football manager can make
strange demands on your time. You just have to accept that.
'It
will be a beautiful ceremony and a beautiful party. We will all toast
him sitting there on the bench at Wembley and look forward to him coming
to join us for the celebrations after the games.'
