Forward not keen on managing Three Lions when his playing days are over.
Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney insists that his former international team-mate and captain David Beckham could take on the role of England manager someday, while insisting that he himself has no interest in the job.
Current boss Fabio Capello is set to leave his position following England's Euro 2012 campaign, irrespective of the outcome, and several candidates including Harry Redknapp, Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce have been mooted as potential successors, while the FA's director of football development, Sir Trevor Brooking, has not ruled out a sensational return to the England post for former national coach Steve McClaren.
In the meantime, Los Angeles Galaxy star Beckham has also been suggested as a possible candidate to take the reins when the Italian leaves, although the 35-year-old has played down the possibility of succeeding his former Real Madrid manager.
However, Rooney believes that Beckham will still be involved with the national team somewhere down the line, as he told talkSPORT: "I don’t think, as a manager, it would be a job I’d want to take, that’s for sure," said Rooney.
"I probably could [see David Beckham in the England coaching set-up].
"He had a bit of a coaching role at the World Cup and you can see how much and how passionate he is for his country, so I’m sure down the line he’ll be involved somehow."
