Tony Adams: Granada name ex-Arsenal and England captain head coach
Last updated on .From the section European Football

Former England and Arsenal captain Tony Adams has been appointed head coach of Granada until the end of the season.
Adams replaces Lucas Alcaraz, who was sacked on Monday after a 3-1 home defeat by Valencia that leaves them 19th in La Liga.
The 50-year-old had been working at the Spanish club since November and is vice president of the company owned by Granada's club president.
His first game will be at home to Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Adams left Azerbaijan side Gabala in 2011 and previously managed Wycombe Wanderers and Portsmouth.
He has worked alongside Granada's president John Jiang in his role as vice president of the Chinese businessman's DDMC company and has been sporting director for Chinese Super League club Chongqing Dangdai Lifan.
Adams played 669 times for Arsenal between 1983 and 2002, spending 14 years as captain, and won 66 England caps.

"It would make much more sense for Adams' new role to be a temporary one, buying some time while the club makes longer-term plans for next season and beyond.
"Certainly, Adams being named permanent manager would not fit very well with the 'Spanish structure' he spoke about in his interview last month.
"And until today, everything Adams had said about his role at Granada suggested that he was happy to take a backroom director's role rather than holding ambitions to become first-team manager, and that remains the most likely scenario beyond the current season.
"But considering his strong relationship with the club's owner, of course he could end up getting the job on a permanent basis."

What I find hilarious is that you think your opinion counts. By the way your term "random guy" means nothing. This random guy has 66 England caps, spent 14 years as captain of Arsenal and beat alcoholism. Can you let us know what you have done in your sad little life!!
You really are an attention seeking little drama queen aren't you?
And I had the privilege of meeting him and his wife at a restaurant many years ago. I asked the manager if it was ok to have a photo with him and he replied "Sir, Mr Adams is here for a meal with his wife". No sooner had he gone, over comes Adams.
Unlike you i've only supported 1 team my whole life.
I am a tiny bit jealous that you got to support MU under Ferguson, City under Mancini and now Chelsea under Conte but unfortunately being a plastic fan dosn't interest me.....
Loose your small minded comments and give a fellow Brit some support.
I hope he makes a great job of it!
@62. Firmino.... Outside of Liverpool Carragher is virtually unheard of
I thought none of our fans came from Liverpool, so our fans haven't heard of him? You don't half talk nonsense
