Beckham will not be on England's coaching staff
Fabio Capello has rejected any suggested David Beckham could be part of his World Cup coaching team in South Africa this summer.
Beckham has been ruled out of the World Cup with an Achilles injury but such is the effect he has had on Capello that the 35-year-old is to be found some kind of support role.
That has led to speculation that Beckham could do some coaching, but Capello insists that is not his intention for Beckham, who could be brought along as an ambassador to generate a feel-good factor around the camp, as well as do some much-needed positive publicity for the 2018 World Cup bid.
"David Beckham will not be on my coaching staff. Absolutely not,'' said Capello. "He will stay with us and he can help us during the World Cup. But there will be no coaching. You have to respect the other coaches.
"We have to speak with him because we have different projects. He can do things around South Africa. He is an example for everyone else. There were so many times when he could have gone on holiday but he preferred to be with us.
"He is dedicated to the England team and to the 2018 World Cup bid.'' |
