Five days after Capello told the world the Football Association would give him a decision about his future "in two weeks", Club England chairman Sir David Richards confirmed the 64-year-old would remain in his job.
The decision at least brings some much-needed clarity to the situation, even if the feeling persists Capello's position has been reinforced for all the wrong reasons.
With a potentially hefty compensation bill to pay should they dispense with the Italian, and viable alternatives extremely thin on the ground once Roy Hodgson agreed to succeed Rafael Benitez at Liverpool, English football's power-brokers knew that retaining Capello was an obvious move, just over four weeks after they agreed a new contract that runs until after Euro 2012.
It might not sit easily with some, including former skipper Alan Shearer, who called for Capello to be axed in the wake of that devastating 4-1 defeat in Bloemfontein, but Richards insists the right decision has been made.
"After fully discussing our performance we remain convinced that Fabio is the best man for the job," he said.
"We are all still extremely disappointed at our performance in South Africa but he went into the World Cup with a reputation as one of world football's finest managers and we are confident Fabio will benefit from his first international tournament experience.
"Undoubtedly this will make us all stronger for the Euro 2012 campaign."
GHANA 1 URUGUAY 1
Ghana bowed out of the World Cup in the most heartbreaking circumstances in one of the most amazing finishes to a match the World Cup has ever seen.
In this tournament's 80-year history, surely there has never been such agony for a country, and a continent.
Luis Suarez had used his hands to keep out a header in the last minute of extra-time but his red card will be no solace to the Black Stars after Asamoah Gyan's spot-kick hit the bar and Uruguay triumphed in the shoot-out.
Soccer City was deathly silent as Ghana players collapsed in tears, while Uruguay celebrated their first semi-final appearance, in which they will play Holland, for 40 years.
The South Americans' goalkeeper Fernando Muslera was the hero, saving twice from John Mensah, the Sunderland centre-back, and Dominic Adiyiah, but there was a nasty taste left in the mouth as Suarez was carried shoulder high by his team.
This had been a thrilling, exhilarating, and no-holds barred contest full of thunderous tackles and fierce commitment that really set this World Cup alight.
Sulley Muntari, almost sent home earlier on in the tournament after a bust-up with Ghana's Serbian coach Milovan Rajevac, had given his side the lead before Diego Forlan equalised with a viciously-swerving free-kick for his third goal of the finals.
Ghana carried the hopes of the continent with them, and especially South Africans, in their quest to become the first African country to qualify for the semi-finals.
The South Americans, aiming for their first appearance in the last four since 1970, had only conceded one goal all tournament.
Perhaps it was the burden of expectation, but Ghana looked nervous from the start while Uruguay, and Suarez in particular, emanated menace.
It was the Ajax striker who first threatened, sweeping past Isaac Vorsah and firing in a shot that Richard Kingson managed to parry.
Forlan's dead-ball expertise was also causing Ghana problems and his corner deflected off Mensah's back and Kingson made a reaction save.
Kingson continued his superb form this tournament with a stunning save to tip over from Suarez - why he has been released by Wigan, and been third-choice keeper there for the last two years, is one of football's great mysteries.
Ghana had done virtually nothing in reply when, inspired by Kevin-Prince Boateng, they suddenly began to play.
Two great chances came in as many minutes as Vorsah planted a header from Muntari's corner just past the angle and then Gyan was inches wide after brilliant work by Boateng.
Then the German-born midfielder, still on the books at Portsmouth, who nearly conjured up a spectacular opener with an overhead kick before Muntari struck first-half injury time.
The Inter Milan midfielder - himself ex-Portsmouth - hit a speculative shot from 30 yards out, Gyan ducked and Uruguay keeper Fernando Muslera was caught flat-footed as the ball sneaked into the corner.
The goal made for an open second half with Uruguay having to force the game, and the South Americans claimed a penalty when Edinson Cavani went down under Vorsah's challenge but replays showed Portuguese referee Olegario Benquerenca was spot on to wave the appeals away.
It look ominous for Ghana however when John Pantsil swept away Fucile's legs on the edge of the box, and Forlan produced the perfect free-kick that went over the wall and dipped under the crossbar. Even Kingson could do nothing.
Ghana did not let their heads drop however and Gyan brought a smart save out of Muslera but Uruguay should have taken the lead when Forlan produced an outstanding cross that cut out the entire defence. You would have put your house on Suarez volleying home at the far post but instead he rippled the side-netting.
Boateng looked to be denied a legitimate penalty after a smart turn, with Muntari wasting the chance that presented itself afterwards.
Kingson kept Ghana in it with a sharp near-post save from Suarez, and ensured extra time.
Gyan was thwarted by a large-ditch block by Andres Scotti as Ghana hunted for a breakthrough then Pantsil was lucky not to be penalised after tangling with Sebastian Eguren in his own area.
Ghana finished the stronger with Gyan and Boateng going close before Forlan flashed a last chance wide.
An incredible last minute saw Suarez sent off for saving Adiyiah's header on the line with his fist, and Gyan smashing the penalty against the bar.
Then came the shoot-out, and terrible agony for Ghana.

BRAZIL 1 HOLLAND 2
Wesley Sneijder dumped favourites Brazil out of the World Cup as Holland finally got the better of their South American nemesis with a 2-1 victory in Port Elizabeth.
But they had to come from behind to avenge their heartbreaking defeats of 1994 and 1998 and book their place in the semi-finals.
Robinho, who had already had an effort ruled out for offside, fired the Brazilians ahead with just 10 minutes gone, and the Dutch struggled to cope during the opening 45 minutes.
But Felipe Melo's 53rd-minute own goal gave them fresh impetus and Sneijder won it 22 minutes from time before Melo was dismissed for stamping on Arjen Robben.
However, Holland will have to do without both full-back Gregory van der Wiel and midfielder Nigel de Jong for Tuesday's semi-final in Cape Town after both collected second bookings.
Dutch legend Johan Cruyff had claimed dismissively before the game that he would not pay to watch this Brazil team, and if he did stay away from the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, he may have been glad he did so at half-time.
Dunga's men may not possess the all flair of their forebears, but they had more than enough to cut Holland open almost at will, and the 1-0 lead they enjoyed at half-time was scant reward for their dominance.
Robinho thought he had given the South Americans the lead with just eight minutes gone after Luis Fabiano and Dani Alves combined to carve open the path to goal and he supplied the finish.
An offside flag ended that celebration, but the £32.5million man did not have to wait too long for a chance to ease his disappointment.
This time, it was defensive midfielder Melo who split the Dutch rearguard wide open with a straight ball down the middle, and Robinho left orange shirts floundering in his wake as he beat keeper Maarten Stekelenburg with consummate ease.
But for Stekelenburg, the game would effectively have been over by the break with the Ajax man pulling off a fine one-handed save to keep out Kaka's curling 31st-minute effort after Robinho and Luis Fabiano had left Holland once again chasing shadows down the left.
The keeper was relieved to see full-back Maicon's rasping drive, which bore similarities to Carlos Alberto's stunning strike in 1970, tear into the side-netting in injury time with the Dutch very much up against it.
But they resumed in more determined fashion, and they got their reward within eight minutes of he restart when, after Sneijder had curled a cross hopefully into the penalty area, Julio Cesar and Melo challenged each other and the ball went in off the midfielder's head.
Robben started to cause problems in the wake of the goal, but Alves flashed a long-range effort just wide and Kaka also went close at the other end as Brazil responded.
But it was Holland who took the lead with 22 minutes remaining when Kuyt flicked on Robben's corner and Sneijder steered a header into the net.
Melo received his marching orders five minutes later for senselessly stamping on Robben with his side's World Cup dream rapidly unravelling.
Andre Ooijer's last-ditch tackle denied Kaka five minutes from time, and there was no way back for the five-time winners.
