"He was unhappy but understood. In the end we shook hands."

Capello ensure Ferdinand will be vice-captain against Switzerland at Wembley Stadium later.

"The captain is John Terry, Rio (Ferdinand), vice-captain. I have spoken to Rio and explains why I took this decision. He spoke something to me. He was not happy, but understood. In the end we shook hands," said Capello was quoted as ESPN.

Capello later denied that Ferdinand will sit on the bench against Switzerland. Capello is reportedly upset with Ferdinand that several times ignored his request to speak.

"I never thought Rio would stop playing for us. He likes to play with the national team. He's an important player, and important personal in the locker room,"said Capello.
