Brad Pitt wants to hire David Beckham as football coach

American actor Brad Pitt has revealed that he wants David Beckham to teach his children how to play football.

The Hollywood star believes that Beckham could pass on his skills to Pitt's six children - Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara and twins Knox and Vivienne.

Speaking at the premiere of his film World War Z, Pitt told The Sun: "I want him to teach my kids soccer."

Beckham retired from football following a five-month stint at Paris Saint-Germain last month.
