Beckham calls it a day

Just after the news Alex Ferguson is retiring from Football, Beckham drops a bombshell he is also retiring. Could this be a coincidence or simply Beckham wanting to overshadow Fergie?

The future seems bright for Beckham, although this is the end of his footballing career, it has been reported his unique appeal will last at least 20 years.  As after all he is the only English player to win championships in four countries.

Consequently for Beckham and his empire, companies will be competing and mithering Beckham to endorse their products or brand. But who will he choose? His previous endorsement deals range from Diet Pepsi, Samsung and Marks and Spencers.

So whats next for Beckham?  His own fashion range like his wife Victoria perhaps? Anything he does is sure to be a success, due to his large following and the icon he has become over his footballing career.

It is rumoured that Beckham is lined up with a £20 million role as an ambassador for sky television. As well as a £50 million deal which he has signed to become an ambassador for the Chinese super league.

Whatever ambassador or endorsement roles Beckham chooses, he is set to make a fortune out of his retirement.
