Notes
Peter Taylor, highly successful
England under-21 coach deposed to make way for Howard Wilkinson after
Glenn Hoddle's tenure as England manager ended, returned to take charge
of the senior team for the friendly match against Italy in November,
2000. He fielded an experimental side of younger players and,
controversially, handed the captain's armband for the first time to
David Beckham. After
Sven-Göran Eriksson took charge, Taylor lent his assistance, staying
on as a part-time
member of the England coaching staff until season's end.
