Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp feels Fabio Capello could have managed the England captaincy issue better.
Capello has axed Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand in favour of Chelsea's John Terry.
"Maybe the timing and everything else is not perfect," Redknapp told Sky Sports News.
"It's made a big fuss over it when we could have left it with whoever. Rio is injured, Steven Gerrard is out, but Frank did a great job in the last game.
"But maybe with the other two lads missing he felt it was time to give it back to John."
He added: "Terry had his year's punishment; he missed captaining us in the World Cup. If he (Capello) thinks he's the best man for the job then give it back to him.
"I wish him all the best with the job. He is a great captain and he's a real leader."
Redknapp feels several members of the England line-up have what it takes to fulfil the captaincy role.
"We're full of good captains really when you look at that England team," he added.
"You've got John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Rio - they're all capable of being captains."
