Steven Gerrard has confirmed that he would like to captain England., now that David Beckham has quit. With typical modesty, the Liverpool skipper has suggested that there are others equally capable. Nevertheless he remains one of the favourites alongside Chelsea's John Terry.
Wayne Rooney is reported as having revealed that he would have gone almost anywhere, to get away from Everton manager, David Moyes. Wayne goes into some detail about this in his autobiography, which may prove to be the first of many and which is being serialised in the Daily Mail. Not one to miss a marketing opportunity, our Wayne!
Carlos Dungo is a surprise choice of coach for Brazil, who in common with at least one other famous football nation, would have preferred Luiz Felipe Scolari, of Portugal. However, Dungo is a strong and persuasive character, in a similar mould, perhaps to Roy Keane, and as such may be able to assist Brazil to maintain their reputation as the world's best football team. Outgoing manager Parreira, is perceived by the Brazilian supporters as lacking passion. If they are right the new guy may prove to be a good choice.
Brave man, Niall Quinn has been appointed the new manager of Sunderland, where he may also take over as chairman. Player managers have come and gone, but chairmen managers are a rarer breed. Unsurprisingly, neither Martin O'Neil or Sam Allardyce, will be coming to the Stadium of Light. Sunderland is a great club, with great supporters but the Championship is not the Premiership, and there would be an understandable reluctance for one of the really big managerial names to make the move.
