FA axe Pearce England U21 backroom staff

The English FA have dumped the backroom staff of former England U21 coach Stuart Pearce.

The Daily Mail says coach Steve Wigley, performance analyst Keith Mincher, physios Dave Galley and Derek Wright and masseur Stewart Welsh, who all assisted Pearce during international weeks, are no longer required in the new England set-up.

In response to the notable differences that existed between Pearce and senior team manager Roy Hodgson, the FA now want more continuity between all England levels.
