David Beckham has decided to step down as England captain after holding the role for six years.

 

But the Real Madrid star does want to to continue his international career.

 

Beckham revealed his decision at England's final press conference in Germany in the wake of their World Cup quarter-final defeat by Portugal.

 

The 31-year-old midfielder said: "I feel the time is right to pass on the armband as we enter a new era under new coach Steve McClaren."

 

Many will feel that Beckham has walked before he was pushed as a growing number of people called for him to be removed from his role as captain following a series of mediocre performances.
