Manager says David Beckham too old to play

David Beckham

Newscast Media –Fabio Capello, England’s manager has said that David
Beckham’s international career is over, after an ankle injury ended the midfielder’s dreams of playing in the World Cup. Despite being part of Capello’s backroom team in South Africa, it does not seem like there will be a place for Beckham when England embarks on qualifying for Euro 2012.

“I say thank you very much for helping me at the World Cup but probably he is a little bit old,” Capello told ITV ahead of the friendly with Hungary at Wembley.

After spending much of his career in the spotlight, it seems like a very low-key end to Beckham’s international career, but fits in with Fabio Capello’s no nonsense management style.

With such a disappointing display in South Africa, Capello seems to be looking to the stars of the future as he prepares for Euro 2012 qualifying, with the likes of Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs earning a place in the England squad against Hungary.

With injury preventing him from playing in South Africa, Beckham was instead asked to be part of England’s backroom staff, and although disappointed by England’s exit, the midfielder was still wholehearted in his support of Capello.

“Obviously, England’s performance was disappointing,” he said in a press conference.

“That’s in the past, but with some people it’s still fresh. It was disappointing. The players know that and the manager knows that. Now, though, we need to rebuild and we need to make sure it’s right going forward. There’s no better manager that could be in charge there to get that done.”
