England captain David Beckham has hailed Steve McClaren as "the best coach I have ever worked with".McClaren, who has been assistant to national team boss Sven-Goran Eriksson for five years, will take over from the Swede after this summer´s World Cup. And despite McClaren apparently not being first choice - Portugal´s Brazilian coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was widely touted as the favourite - Beckham has given his full backing to the Middlesbrough boss."He is the best coach I have ever had and I have had some good ones over the years," he said. "If you asked any of the players he is one of the best, if not the best."
