Stuart Pearce wants to prove himself with podium finish for Team GB

Stuart Pearce is hoping for success in the Olympic football tournament and to prove he is a top-level manager.

Team GB coach Stuart Pearce is hoping that success in the Olympic football competition will prove that he can be a top-level manager.

Great Britain beat Uruguay on Wednesday to book their place in the quarter-finals and Pearce has done his reputation no harm during the campaign.

The 50-year-old, who previously managed Manchester City and England Under-21s, says that he has ambitions of being successful.

"At this moment in time as a manager I've won nothing, I feel as though I am still learning," said Pearce.

"If you look at the top managers, what Sir Alex Ferguson has won, what Arsene Wenger has won, you envy their CVs.

"I am no different. I am desperate to win, for the players even more than myself."

Britain take on South Korea on Saturday and Pearce admits that the team are eyeing a podium place.

He continued: "Listen, I could lie to you and say that we take one game in isolation, but any other team in the quarter-finals know that if they advance, they have got two bites at a medal.

"I am not just talking about Team GB. Three of the four teams will come away with a medal, that's a fact."
