Rory McIlroy sees no need for Europe to turn back to Colin Montgomerie as captain for next year’s match at Gleneagles.

Northern Ireland’s world number one wants Dubliner Paul McGinley to be named tonight in Abu Dhabi, the city where he and Tiger Woods start their seasons on Thursday.

“Ryder Cup captaincy should be a one-time thing,” McIlroy said on Twitter.

“Everybody deserving gets their chance and moves on. Would love to play under Paul McGinley in ‘14.”

With Darren Clarke expected to confirm to the European Tour’s tournament committee that he does not think the time is right for him to be captain, McGinley and Montgomerie are the two names on most lips ahead of the meeting.

Meanwhile, last September’s captain Jose Maria Olazabal also thinks there are enough good candidates not to have to recall his predecessor Montgomerie.

And the 46-year-old still insists he will never take the job on again – not even in Spain one day.

Olazabal led Europe to a thrilling comeback victory in Chicago after they had trailed 10-4.

“I would never do it again,” he said.

“First of all it’s a lot of energy and time, a huge demand and the pressure is quite big.

“On top of that, I’ve done it and it couldn’t have been any better. Even if it was held in Spain again somewhere down the line I would not do it.

“Monty has also done it and was successful too (in 2010). If I was him I wouldn’t do it again, but Monty is his own man.”
