BECKHAM HAS `NO INTEREST` IN ENGLAND JOB
Baku, July 15 (AZERTAC). David Beckham insists he has no interest in becoming England coach and has laid the blame for the country`s World Cup failure squarely at the door of the players, CNN reports.
The former England captain traveled to the tournament as part of coach Fabio Capello`s staff and was seen on the training pitch and delivering instructions on the touchline during matches.
Beckham, who plays for Los Angeles Galaxy in the MLS, could not prevent England from a miserable tournament, as they labored through the group stages before Germany thrashed them 4-1 in the second round.
There had been calls for Beckham to take over from Capello after the Italian`s position was thrown into doubt by the Football Association. But now the FA has confirmed Capello will be in charge until 2012.
The 35-year-old, speaking at a web chat with Yahoo, said: "I must admit it`s something I`ve never been interested in. It`s not a passion of mine to be a manager of a football team.
