Keegan: Becks won't coach

Former England player and manager Kevin Keegan does not believe David Beckham will go into coaching after deciding to end his playing career.

I don't really see that is where he's going to go.

Keegan sees Beckham taking up some sort of ambassadorial role, whether it be with the Football Association or with a club.

If you are talking about being around there, a little like Bobby Charlton has done at Man United I suppose, yes, definitely there's a role there (he could do).

"Tonight was a nice way to go out - in front of my own fans, in front of a capacity crowd that were excited because we've won the league," Beckham told Sky Sports News.

"To go out like I did tonight couldn't have been any more perfect."
