FINALLY, England coach Fabio Capello has named John Terry as the national team’s new permanent captain. Terry had been vying with central defensive partner Rio Ferdinand for the role, with Capello opting to keep faith with the Chelsea defender.

During Steve McClaren’s ill-fated stint in charge of England, Terry was captain after replacing David Beckham in the job following the 2006 World Cup. Since succeeding McClaren as coach, though, Capello has been rotating the armband during his four friendlies at the helm.

Steven Gerrard had been skipper in Capello’s opening match against Switzerland before Ferdinand led the team out against France.Terry was given his chance to impress against the United States at the end of last season before Beckham took on the role against Trinidad & Tobago.

However, Terry and Ferdinand had always been regarded as front-runners for the position, with the Manchester United defender reportedly the favourite.Ferdinand, though, will be Terry’s vice-captain after Capello confirmed his decision ahead of Wednesday’s friendly against Czech Republic at Wembley.

Beckham will skipper the national team for the first time since relinquishing the armband after the 2006 World Cup quarter-final exit to Portugal. Fabio Capello has name David Beckham as England captain for Sunday’s friendly with Trinidad & Tobago. Sunday will mark his 102nd appearance for the national team. But according to Skysport, there have been suggestions that the midfielder has been handed the captaincy for the game to boost England’s bid to host the 2018 World Cup.

England coach Fabio Capello has already used Steven Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand and John Terry as captains since he took charge the Three Lions. The captaincy of England will be rotated among the most influential player in the team. The coach doesn’t intend to name a permanent captain until England’s 2010 World Cup qualifiers in September against Andorra and Croatia, and Beckham remains one of the candidates.
