Becks backs Gullit decision

David Beckham was left “disappointed” by Ruud Gullit’s departure as Los Angeles Galaxy coach but backed the Dutchman’s decision to walk away if life was not working out for him in California.

Gullit resigned for “personal reasons” on Monday, and was followed out of the door by the man who brought Beckham to Major League Soccer – Galaxy general manager Alexi Lalas – who was fired.
