Answer
Capello's resignation as England manager was controversial because he quit to take up management in the UAE, which is considered to be a relatively weak league. Many people felt that he should have stayed on with England, as they were in the middle of a World Cup qualifying campaign. Capello's decision was also seen as a snub to the English FA, who had offered him a new contract.
