Fergie 'should coach British Olympic football team'

Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson should be given first refusal to coach the Great Britain football team at the 2012 Olympics, according to former British sports minister Richard Caborn.

Ferguson has been informally approached by London 2012 chairman Sebastian Coe about the role, but current England boss Fabio Capello could be a serious rival especially as the Manchester United boss has played down talk that he would be involved.
