Gerrard would be "perfect" England captain, says Rooney
LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has put aside club rivalry by stating that Liverpool's Steven Gerrard would be the best man to lead England at Euro 2012.
England are without a permanent coach or captain after John Terry was stripped of the armband by the Football Association pending a racial abuse trial and manager Fabio Capello quit in protest.
"For everyone asking, I would love to be England captain. But that's up to new manager to decide. Gerrard is perfect choice for me," Rooney wrote on his Twitter feed.
Rooney, who cannot play in the first two Euro 2012 group games against France and Sweden because of suspension, is seen by pundits as an unlikely pick for captain with Gerrard the bookmakers' favourite for the role whoever takes over as coach.
Under-21 boss Stuart Pearce is in temporary charge for this month's friendly against Netherlands with Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp tipped by Rooney and the media to be approached about becoming the fulltime coach before or after Euro 2012.
FA chairman David Bernstein is determined not to rush an appointment and said age was no barrier to 64-year-old Redknapp.

Fabio Capello risks undermining England's preparations for Euro 2012
The Italian's public disapproval of the FA's decision to strip John Terry of the captaincy could make or break the end of his tenure.
The tensions at the very top of the English game have been laid bare. Fabio Capello is due back at his desk on Monday, though any hopes the Italian may have had in keeping his visit brief before heading for Merseyside to scrutinise Steven Gerrard's form and fitness may have been dashed by the few succinct words he afforded Rai 1 on Sunday night. David Bernstein, the Football Association's chairman, will be seeking a meeting.
By publicly voicing his disapproval at his employers' decision to remove John Terry from the captaincy, a move taken out of his hands, Capello has risked critically undermining England's preparations for the summer's European Championships in a manner potentially far more serious than his ill-advised commercial online venture the "Capello Index" ever did back in 2010.
The Italian was known to be frustrated at seeing his favoured leader deposed while Terry awaits trial for a racially aggravated public order offence allegedly made in an altercation with the Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand last October. Terry has strenuously denied wrongdoing.

Poland wants Euro 2012 to showcase its success
WARSAW: Poland hopes Euro 2012 will attract about a million tourists and showcase its economic success and political stability at a time when a debt crisis has engulfed most of the European continent, said Sports Minister Joanna Mucha.
Poland and Ukraine will co-host the European soccer games in June and July and Warsaw has pegged an ambitious infrastructure building programme - the largest since the country overthrew communism in 1989 - to the tournament.
"The championship is a fantastic opportunity to build up our image, as abroad it is often still far from true. We expect around a million soccer fans and tourists to visit Poland during the games," Mucha said in an interview authorised for release on Tuesday.
