Former Toon Defender To Manage Britain?
Sir Trevor Brooking thinks former Toon defender Stuart Pearce should be appointed as the head coach of the British football team at next year's London Olympics. Brooking's role as the Football Association's director of football development has enabled him to watch Pearce's progression closely since he took the post in 2007. He has been impressed with the way the former England left-back has developed the Under-21 team and thinks they will go far in Denmark. Sir Trevor Brooking: "I would like to support Stuart for the Olympics job because he knows all the players well. "Having been there over the last four years he would be ideally placed to get the best out of that group. "He is respected by all the lads in the squad. They seemed very relaxed around him at the training camp last week. "It's something I think we'll look at when he gets back from this tournament. "He has had two good tournaments and came close to winning both. "This tournament will be good for him to have under his belt and he will want to go far and he has a really strong squad."
