Coaching: David Beckham has been asked to train Angelina and Brad's adopted son Maddox
As David Beckham's international football career comes to an end it appears he has already lined up a new job as a childrens soccer coach.
And the Real Madrid player's first pupil on his books is none other than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolies adopted son Maddox.
The footy-mad five-year-old has already enrolled at the David Beckham Soccer Academy in Los Angeles, and now Pitt, 42, wants the ex-England captain to give Cambodian-born Maddox some one-on-one coaching.
And the middleman behind this bizarre arrangement is former Wimbledon hard man Vinnie Jones.
The 41-year-old footballer turned actor, who starred alongside Pitt in hit gangster movie Snatch, has become pals with Beckham thanks to his promotion work for his U.S. soccer schools and asked him to take a look at the kid.
A source told The Sun: "Brad has asked if there is any chance of David giving a one-on-one tutorial.
"It seems all the all the ex-pats from the UK join a local football team in Hollywood. Celebs like Robbie Williams, Jason Statham and Vinnie know each other through having a knockabout."
The source added: "Maddox was being coached by an English guy over there who happened to tell Vinnie."
The training request from the Fight Club star will no doubt please wife Victoria, 32, as they have been trying to establish Brand Beckham stateside for some time are keen to make friends with the Hollywood elite. The Beckhams already count Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes among their pals and are rumoured to want to move to LA after he retires from football.
