Real stand by Capello
-
Embattled Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello has been given a vote of confidence by the club's board.
Capello is feeling the heat in the Spanish capital after Real slumped to a shock 1-0 home defeat to Levante on Sunday.
The loss prompted the white hankies to be shown at the Bernabeu and has led to calls for Capello to be replaced.
But after a two-hour board meeting on Monday, Real have pledged their support for the Italian tactician.
"We have absolute confidence in him," said board spokesman Miguel Angel Arroyo.
"The board have decided by a unanimous decision to stand by Capello, who is the person to push through the renovation of the team."
Real's sporting director Predrag Mijatovic affirmed the club's current backing for the coach, saying: "Our confidence is with Capello.
"That is not sententious, although in the world of football things change each day."
Mijatovic also supported Capello's stance to not pick David Beckham, who is joining Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer.
He added: "It is normal that we are now interested in new young players for the future and not in a player that has closed a deal with another club." -

GUTI - WE NEED BECKHAM
Real Madrid playmaker Guti admits he would like to see David Beckham brought back into the team.
Beckham has not played for Madrid since announcing last month that he is to leave the Spanish giants this summer to join MLS side the Los Angeles Galaxy.
That was six games ago, of which Madrid have won two, drawn two and lost two.
Recent comments from coach Fabio Capello and sporting director Predrag Mijatovic suggests Beckham is unlikely to be brought back anytime soon, but Guti believes the former England captain is still able to contribute.
Guti, one of the three team captains at Madrid, said: "He is a friend and a great footballer. He is starting anew with another team and deserves the greatest of respect for that.
"What we would like is that apart from just training with us, we would like him to play.
"But it is up to the club to decide that, there's nothing we can do about it.
"The most important thing is for the fans to support us." -
