The FA has ended weeks of speculation by announcing the appointment of John Terry as England's player-manager for Euro 2012.
The Chelsea defender takes charge just two months after he was sensationally dropped from the national captaincy, which prompted the resignation of previous boss Fabio Capello. But the 31-year-old appears to have resolved his issues with the country's executives and will now lead the Three Lions into this summer's tournament.

"We are extremely proud that John has agreed to take on the role of player-manager and are confident that he can lead England to glory in Poland and Ukraine," an FA spokesman, Alf Lopior, told Goal.com.

"He has a long and distinguished record of success at leading from the front already under his belt and we are delighted to be able to tie him down to a role which he has already been trialling unofficially at Chelsea."

NEWS (CONTD)

Terry’s full backroom team have yet to be decided, though the Blues defender is expected to speak to colleagues Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole about their potential involvement, but one key addition to the Three Lions setup was revealed.

“Joey Barton will also be travelling with the team to Poland as the FA's new social media advisor,” Mr Lopior continued.

“Euro 2012 is set to be a very exciting time and we know that the players will be very keen to engage with fans online throughout the tournament – and, we hope, all the way to the final.

“Joey’s expertise in the field made him an obvious choice to set our agenda and he will begin distributing pertinent lyrics by The Smiths to all potential members of the final squad in the coming days.

“Whether or not he features in the playing squad as well is, of course, down to John.”

According to reports from White Hart Lane, a teary Redknapp refused to wind down his car window to comment on the appointment.
