    The FA has ended weeks of speculation by announcing the appointment of John Terry as England's player-manager for Euro 2012.

    The
    Chelsea defender takes charge just two months after he was
    sensationally dropped from the national captaincy, which prompted the
    resignation of previous boss Fabio Capello. But the 31-year-old appears
    to have resolved his issues with the country's executives and will now
    lead the Three Lions into this summer's tournament.

    "We are
    extremely proud that John has agreed to take on the role of
    player-manager and are confident that he can lead England to glory in
    Poland and Ukraine," an FA spokesman, Alf Lopior, told Goal.com.

    "He
    has a long and distinguished record of success at leading from the
    front already under his belt and we are delighted to be able to tie him
    down to a role which he has already been trialling unofficially at
    Chelsea."

    There had been concerns that taking Terry to Euro 2012 in any capacity
    could be seen as inappropriate, given the fact that the 31-year-old
    faces a date in court after the tournament’s conclusion in July over
    allegations that he racially abused QPR’s Anton Ferdinand in November
    2011.

    However, Mr Lopior put fans’ minds at ease, explaining: “We feel it best not to focus too much on the details.

    “We
    knew that we had to be quick about appointing John as soon as he came
    in for interview. He gave a very eloquent and in-depth presentation
    about his plans for the tournament as well as the years to come.

    “He
    was the most impressive interviewee by far, though the FA would like to
    thank Harry Redknapp, Stuart Pearce and Alex McLeish for their interest
    in the position.”

    Terry’s full backroom team have yet to be
    decided, though the Blues defender is expected to speak to colleagues
    Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole about their potential involvement, but one
    key addition to the Three Lions setup was revealed.

    “Joey Barton will also be travelling with the team to Poland as the FA's new social media advisor,” Mr Lopior continued.

    “Euro
    2012 is set to be a very exciting time and we know that the players
    will be very keen to engage with fans online throughout the tournament –
    and, we hope, all the way to the final.

    “Joey’s expertise in the
    field made him an obvious choice to set our agenda and he will begin
    distributing pertinent lyrics by The Smiths to all potential members of
    the final squad in the coming days.

    “Whether or not he features in the playing squad as well is, of course, down to John.”

    According to reports from White Hart Lane, a teary Redknapp refused to wind down his car window to comment on the appointment.

    JT to be England manager for Euros when he still has his court case to come and dropping the captaincy? At least make it believable.
