You have to respect the coaches. He will not be like a coach. We have different projects for him, he is an ambassador for the 2018 World Cup and can go one or two times around South Africa. But it is important that David stays with us. He is one of the really important players who played with us. He is dedicated," Capello said.u00a0 Beckham's role willu00a0 revolve around helping team spirit and, in dressing-room parlance, working as BBC - Balls, Bibs and Cones.
