England to draw up shortlist; Pearce in charge for Dutch friendly
Feb 9, 2012, 12:52 GMT
London - England's Football Association is to draw up a shortlist of candidates to manage the national side following the resignation of Fabio Capello.
FA chairman David Bernstein would not be drawn at a press conference Thursday on media reports linking Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp with the job.
'I'm not going to get into any discussion on any individuals,' he said.
'We will do this as quickly as we sensibly can. It will be interesting to see who comes to us and we'll be putting together a shortlist.'
England under-21 coach Stuart Pearce was meanwhile confirmed as manager for the friendly against Netherlands on February 29.
Capello, who resigned after disagreeing with the FA's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy, meanwhile released a statement thanking 'all players, staff and Football Association for the professionalism they have shown during my years as manager of the English national team.'
