text: Newcastle are set to strip Fabricio Coloccini of the captaincy this summer and give the armband to Daryl Janmaat, should he remain at the club. Former Argentina defender Coloccini has been skipper since 2011 but head coach John Carver says the club will review that position at the end of the season. The Magpies have repeatedly been let down by those appointed to lead the team this year and that has infuriated coaching staff. Newcastle boss John Carver is set to strip Fabricio Coloccini (above) of the club captaincy this summer . Daryl Janmaat will be given the honour during the summer with Carver labelling him as 'outstanding' Coloccini was needlessly sent off during last month’s 3-0 defeat at Everton and landed a three-match ban which ruled him out of the Tyne-Wear derby. In his absence, Moussa Sissoko skippered the team to three defeats and was himself red carded during Monday’s 2-0 loss at Liverpool following a reckless lunge on midfielder Lucas. The France international – who is desperate to quit St James’ in the summer – is now facing a club fine as punishment for his indiscipline. Meanwhile, official vice-captain Cheick Tiote has long since been agitating for a move away from Tyneside and he has only appeared 12 times this season because of injury. Carver said: ‘The captaincy is something that has to be addressed by the football club. ‘We need to give the captaincy to somebody who is responsible, who is a leader. The players will follow a leader, and they have to have discipline on and off the pitch. Carver said on Thursday: ‘We need to give the captaincy to somebody who is responsible, who is a leader' ‘I shouldn't have to go in there and manage that dressing room – that's what your captains are there for. I would definitely review the situation in the summer.’ Carver will recommend that Holland defender Janmaat is rewarded for an impressive first season. He, though, is attracting interest from Liverpool and, given the unsettled situation at the club right now, could be tempted by a move away. But there has been no question over Janmaat’s commitment this season, as Carver added: ‘I'd be tempted (to make Janmaat captain), yes, because he's a proper leader. ‘He's got character, strength, he's good around the dressing room. Whatever you ask him to do he'll do it and he has a good presence around the place. ‘He leads by example, and that's what you need a captain to do. Daryl has been outstanding. Moussa Sissoko hands the captains armband over to manager Carver after being sent off at Liverpool . 'This is his first year in the Premier League and he’s been outstanding, whatever position he’s played in. It’s important we keep him. We need to keep our best players.’ Coloccini, however, will captain the team for Sunday’s visit of Spurs. And Carver said: ‘If it was me, I'd want to prove a point. ‘If it was me who had been sent off and I was the captain of the football club, I'd want to perform for the next six games, because I have been sent off and we've had to reshuffle the back four because of it. ‘And I think he will give a good response because will be disappointed at what's happened. He'll not want to see this team struggle like they did a few seasons ago and end up in the Championship.’ Referee Martin Atkinson shows  Coloccini a red card during last month's trip to Everton at Goodison Park .
