Capello backs Becks to shine
|
Fabio Capello has reassured David Beckham that he has a future at Real Madrid.
Capello will be looking to make his mark in the Spanish capital after sweeping into the club on the back of Ramon Calderon's victory in the Real presidential elections.
The futures of a number of Real's old guard are under scrutiny, with Beckham among them.
He stepped down from his duties as England captain after the World Cup and has already been linked with a return to The Premiership.
Those links have been played down by Beckham's management team and Capello is looking for the 31-year-old midfielder to play a prominent role for Real in the new season.
"I thought Beckham had a good World Cup and it was unfortunate what happened to England," Capello told The Sun.
"It was a pity he got injured and it's understandable that he was hurt by what happened afterwards.
"But Beckham is still a great player. I'm looking forward to working with him - he's an important player for Real Madrid."
