He was appointed England manager on 1 May 2012.

Italy: Cesare Prandelli Date of birth: 19 August 1957 Nationality: Italian Playing career: US Cremonese, Atalanta BC, Juventus Coaching career: Atalanta BC, US Lecce, Hellas- FC, AC Venezia, Parma FC, AS Roma, ACF Fiorentina, Italy • Made his name as a promising coach in the prestigious youth system at Atalanta, the club where he finished his playing career in 1990 after three league titles with Juventus (1981, 1982, 1984). • His six seasons in Turin also brought the 1983 Coppa Italia, the 1984 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the European Champion Clubs' Cup a year later, although he struggled to win a regular role. • Having impressed at Atalanta, Prandelli accepted the head coach position at Lecce in 1997 but resigned the following January. He then earned promotion to the top flight with both Verona and Venezia before further boosting his burgeoning reputation after moving to Parma in 2002. • In 2004 Prandelli took over at Roma but soon left as wife Manuele – who sadly died in November 2007 – fell seriously ill. He moved to Fiorentina in 2005, leading them to a fourth place in his first season although they were subsequently stripped of their achievement for their part in Italy's sporting fraud trial. • Prandelli guided the club to the 2007/08 UEFA Cup semi-finals and was awarded the Panchina d'Oro for the best coach in Serie A, in 2008. Took the Viola into the UEFA Champions League group stage in 2008/09 and the round of 16 a year later before succeeding as Italy coach, signing a four-year deal and guiding the Azzurri to UEFA EURO 2012 unbeaten.

UEFA European Championship final tournament: Did you know? • Germany are the competition's most successful side having lifted the trophy in 1972, 1980 (both as West Germany) and 1996, reaching the final in 1976, 1992 and 2008. Only Spain (1964, 2008) and France (1984, 2000) have also triumphed more than once. • Only three sides have ever won the UEFA European Championship on home soil: Spain (1964), Italy (1968) and France (1984). • No side has ever retained the trophy, and no player has ever appeared in two victorious UEFA European Championship finals. The Soviet Union (1960, 1964) and West Germany (1972, 1976) returned to the finals as holders only to lose, while twice picked up a winners' medal with West Germany (1972, 1980) but did not play in either tournament. • was a winner as a player with West Germany in 1972 and as coach of Germany in 1996, making him the only man to win as player and coach. • Since 1980, when the final tournament expanded to become an eight-team event, the hosts or co-hosts have only failed to reach the semi-finals – or better – four times: Italy (1980), Belgium (2000) Austria and Switzerland (2008) and now and Ukraine. • UEFA EURO 2012 is Germany's 11th successive UEFA European Championship final tournament – they last missed out as West Germany in 1968. The Netherlands were in the finals for the seventh successive edition. • Germany are appearing in the finals for the eleventh time, one more than Russia. This is the ninth tournament for the Netherlands and Spain. • Five teams have qualified for the finals with a perfect record, including Spain and Germany this time round. The others are France (1992 and 2004) and (2000). • The Netherlands' 6-1 defeat of Yugoslavia in the UEFA EURO 2000 quarter-finals is the biggest win in a final tournament. Three games have finished 5-0, most recently Sweden's 2004 defeat of Bulgaria. • That 2000 Netherlands win is also the biggest margin of victory in a UEFA European Championship quarter-final, going back to 1960. Before the final tournament expanded to eight teams in 1980, five teams scored five goals in a single last-eight fixture: France (5-1 v Austria, 1960), Spain (5-1 v Republic of Ireland, 1964), Netherlands (5-0 v Belgium, 1976) and Yugoslavia twice (5-1 v both Portugal, 1960 and France, 1968). • Since quarter-finals were re-introduced in 1996, the biggest margin of victory aside from the Dutch's 6-1 triumph in 2000 is the Czech Republic's 3-0 defeat of Denmark four years later. Only two other teams have scored three goals or more, both in 2008: Germany beat Portugal 3-2 and Russia were 3-1 victors against the Netherlands, the latter after extra time. • Spain are seeking to retain the trophy having already become only the third team to hold the UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup at the same time. West Germany won the European title in 1972 and added the world crown two years later, while France won the 1998 World Cup and UEFA EURO 2000. No team has ever won three consecutive world and continental titles. • A total of 15 players appeared in both those finals: for West Germany, , , Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck, Paul Breitner, Uli Hoeness and Gerd Müller played in both matches, while , , Bixente Lizarazu, , , Youri Djorkaeff, , Zinédine Zidane and Christophe Dugarry also achieved the feat for France. • , , Carles Puyol, Joan Capdevila, Andrés Iniesta, Hernández, Cesc Fàbregas, and played in Spain's 2008 EURO final win and the 2010 World Cup success. • Five players have appeared in European Cup and UEFA European Championship final victories in the same year: Luis Suárez achieved the feat with FC Internazionale Milano and Spain in 1964, while in 1988 PSV Eindhoven quartet Hans van Breucklen, , Barry van Aerle and Gerald Vanenburg were all in the victorious Netherlands side. • and narrowly missed out on this club. A Champion Clubs' Cup finalist with PSV in 1988, Kieft was an unused substitute in the Netherlands' European triumph, while Nicolas Anelka was similarly thwarted with France in 2000 after appearing in Real Madrid CF's UEFA Champions League final.

Children of Chornobyl visit Kyiv match At the invitation of UEFA President Michel Platini, 150 Ukrainian and Belarusian children from the Children of Chornobyl Relief and Development Fund in Ukraine and the children's rehabilitation centre Nadezhda were given the football thrill of a lifetime when they attended the Group D match between Sweden and France at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv. Before visiting the stadium, a group of the children met with the renowned Ukrainian rock band S.K.A.Y., whose members gave the boys and girls with gifts. In the stadium further surprises awaited the children at half-time, as they were introduced to UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino and Croatian legend Davor Šuker – one of European football's most renowned strikers. Both answered questions from the enthusiastic youngsters, whose big day was rewarded with another entertaining 90 minutes of action. Ban and fine for Bendtner The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body has suspended Denmark's Nicklas Bendtner for one competitive fixture for improper conduct at the Group B match against Portugal on 13 June. This suspension applies to the next 2014 FIFA World Cup match, including the qualifying competition, for which Bendtner is eligible. He has also been fined €100,000. €80,000 fine for HNS The Croatian Football Federation (HNS) has been fined €80,000 for the setting-off and throwing of fireworks, and the improper conduct of supporters (racist chants, racist symbols) at the Group C match against Italy in Poznan on 14 June. RFS appeal against decision The Football Union of Russia (RFS) has appealed against the decision by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body on 13 June to impose a deduction of six points for the qualifying competition of the next UEFA European Championship. This decision is suspended for a probationary period running from now until the end of the play-offs for the UEFA EURO 2016 finals. The RFS was also fined €120,000. The RFS was facing charges for the improper conduct of its supporters (crowd disturbances), the setting off and throwing of fireworks and the display of illicit banners at the Group A match against the Czech Republic in Wroclaw on 8 June. EURO Legends choose Carlsberg Man of the Match Legends who have graced past EUROs will be making a key contribution to UEFA EURO 2012 by voting for and helping to present the Carlsberg Man of the Match Award at each of the 31 games in Poland and Ukraine – and fans will join them in deciding who wins the coveted prize each time. A EURO legend, invited by UEFA President Michel Platini, will be present at each match. A fan vote will be accessible via the UEFA.com match centre, and the EURO Legend will take into consideration the fans' vote before making the final decision on the most outstanding man on the field during the match. A glittering array of superstars are being lined up to decide who wins each UEFA EURO 2012 Carlsberg Man of the Match Award. Fernando Couto (Portugal), Christian Karembeu (France), Predrag Mijatović (Montenegro), Peter Schmeichel (Denmark), Allan Simonsen (Denmark), Davor Šuker (Croatia) and Patrick Vieira (France) are among those who will act as award ambassadors in Poland and Ukraine. Showcase games UEFA EURO 2012 is welcoming disabled athletes to demonstrate their football skills at matches taking place ahead of the quarter-finals. These games form part of UEFA's RESPECT Inclusion projects, initiatives implemented by CAFE (Centre for Access to Football in Europe) to promote the integration of disabled players and fans into football. The showcase games give EURO 2012 fans the opportunity to watch disabled players compete against each other. A total of four matches are being staged at stadiums 90 minutes before the quarter-final games – a seven-a-side game for athletes with intellectual disabilities from Special Olympics Poland; a five-a-side game for blind and partially-sighted players from the CROSS association; a seven-a-side game for deaf players; and a seven-a-side game for players with locomotive disabilities, such as cerebral palsy. Tournament charity benefits from EURO goals Fans in the stadiums and in front of their TV screens have been hailing the goals at UEFA EURO 2012, and the Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE), the official tournament charity, have had more reason than most to cheer with joy. UEFA is donating €3,000 to CAFE for each goal scored at the tournament. The group stage featured no less than 60 goals in 24 games – which means that European football's governing body donated €180,000, to contribute to improved access and facilities for disabled football fans. As part of the Respect programme at UEFA EURO 2012, UEFA is working with CAFE to manage separate Respect Inclusion initiatives, and football followers and other benefactors are being encouraged to donate money for upcoming schemes.
