The temporary coach of the English national team, Stuart Pearce, appointed the midfielder Scott Parker as the captain.
The London Tottenham midfielder surpassed Steven Gerrard, James Milner, and Joe Hart in this category, so he will lead the team in friendly matches against the Netherlands.
Previously, the captain's armband belonged to defender John Terry, but this summer he will stand trial for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand. Due to this, the English Football Association removed him from the captain's duties, and unsatisfied with this decision, coach Fabio Capello resigned from his position.
