McClaren appointment 'this week'
 Reports say McClaren will be named England coach by the end of the week LONDON, England -- Middlesbrough manager Steve McClaren will be named Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor as England coach by the end of the week, newspaper reports said on Monday. McClaren, who also works as Eriksson's assistant, moved to the top of the FA's wanted list after Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari decided not to take the job. Citing media intrusion that comes with the appointment, Brazil's 2002 World Cup-winning coach turned his back on a multi-million pounds-a-year deal. McClaren did his England prospects no harm on Thursday when Middlesbrough produced a remarkable comeback to reach the final of the UEFA Cup. Middlesbrough came back from three goals down to defeat Romanians Steaua Bucharest 4-3 on aggregate, setting up a showdown with Spain's Sevilla in Eindhoven on May 10. Eriksson will step down as England coach after the World Cup in Germany. England open their campaign against Paraguay in Frankfurt on June 10.
