England manager to be appointed at season end The Football Association has decided to put off naming a permanent England manager until the end of the season. General Secretary Alex Horne said the FA does not want to disrupt the club's campaigns by appointing a manager straight away. Mr Horne added that they have drawn up a shortlist of candidates to fill the roll after Fabio Capello resigned last month: "We recognise that a lot of the managers on the list are employed and we don't want to interrupt anyone's season...We're not rushing this and we are expecting something at the back end of the season." Stuart Pearce has stepped in as England's caretaker boss, but with Euro 2012 less than 100 days away and England's defeat in their friendly against the Netherlands on Wednesday, pressure is mounting to find a permanent replacement quickly.
