Steve McClaren has today confirmed his backroom staff for the England set-up, with Terry Venables joining as assistant coach, Steve Round as coach and Bill Beswick as psychologist.

Terry Venables, seeking to explain his role as McClaren's number two, said: "It is obviously different to what I've done before. I can lend my experience and leadership qualities to Steve and make his job easier.

"I think the two of us together and the rest of the staff have got a great chance to go forwards.
