Los Angeles - David Beckham gets a new coach. And that is none other than the Dutch soccer star Ruud Gullit.
Beck's club Los Angeles Galaxy confirmed on its website that the Nierländer will continue to work in the U.S. Major League. For his involvement in the 45-year-old will sign a doped with approximately ten million U.S. dollar three-year contract.
Gullit, European Champion of 1988, incidentally, was not the first choice. The Californians were in demand even with Jürgen Klinsmann. But Klinsi preferably in his own words, the care of a team.
Gullit is a bad start but by no means. After the disappointing performance in the 2007 season with the miss of the playoffs, he should turn the team from Los Angeles million in the coming season into a winning team.
For the former Oranje captain is Los Angeles, the fourth coaching job. Previously, he worked from 1996 to 1998 at Chelsea as a player coach. Gullit led the London 1997 to victory in the FA Cup. From 1998 until August 1999, he coached Newcastle United. Between July 2004 and May 2005 was the 45-year-old working at Feyenoord Rotterdam. Last Gullit has worked as an expert on British television.
