EVERTON’S PHIL JAGIELKA believes Seamus Coleman is the man to replace him with the captain’s armband when the time comes.
Jagielka is 33 and although the England international has no plans to hang up his boots just year, is of the opinion that Killybegs native Coleman contains the perfect leadership traits required to skipper the Premier League club.
“We’ve got a couple of leaders and Seamus Coleman is quite vocal,” Jagielka said in an interview with JD Football.
“His mannerisms on and off the pitch are fantastic. People talk about John as well because of his position and natural coolness, so it would be between them two.”
“But at the top of that at the moment would be Seamus with his extra little bit of experience and the extra use of his voice.
“We don’t have that many vocal lads at Everton but Seamus is a great professional, plays with his heart, loves playing for the club, he’d be top of the next breed to come through.”
