Beckham Named Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers

Soccer superstar David Beckham has agreed to a five-year deal as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He leaves the Real Madrid club at which he enjoyed worldwide popularity. "I look forward to the new challenge of succeeding Bill Cowher in America's version of football," Beckham said in a statement.

An entertainment personality who draws paparazzi like a movie star, Beckham and his wife, Victoria, the former Posh Spice of the Spice Girls, regularly find their way onto tabloid and magazine covers. "With his snazzy clothes, rotating hair colors and styles and a pop star wife, he is just what the Steelers need to spice up their sometimes stodgy image," said Steelers President Art Rooney II.
