England Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce will take charge of England's friendly against the Netherlands on Feb. 29, with the Euro 2012 opener not until June 11 against France.
Of course, England is also without a captain. It was the FA's decision to strip Terry of the armband due to his pending racism trial that angered Capello and led to him quitting.
Terry, though, can remain a member of the squad, which could also include Rio Ferdinand, whose brother Anton is alleged to have been racially abused by Terry in the case that will go to court on July 9.
"You don't want to go to a tournament divided," said Brooking, who played 47 times for England. "You want the spirit, quality and atmosphere to make results."
There will also be a new code of conduct for players.
"I want to ensure we can reach a genuine agreement with the players on, because it is important they have a level of ownership on this," Club England managing director Adrian Bevington said.
