LONDON (AP) — England coach Fabio Capello has urged former captain David Beckham to consider a career in management to utilize his vast soccer experience.
The 35-year-old Beckham has previously ruled out moving into coaching when his career ends despite Capello taking the former Real Madrid, AC Milan and Manchester United midfielder to the World Cup as part his backroom staff.
Capello says that Beckham “knows different styles from Spain, Italy and USA. He knows a lot of different things. I think he can be a manager. The manager is a difficult job, but he is intelligent. I think he can do it.”
Capello announced the end of the Los Angles Galaxy player’s England career earlier this month. The Italian coach wants to nurture young players ahead of the 2012 European Championship.
