The prize for Gillingham or Shrewsbury will be a place in League One next season as the pair head to Wembely this Saturday for the League Two Play-off Final

England midfielder David Beckham believes Chelsea would be getting ”one of the greats” if they persuade Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti to move to Stamford Bridge.

The former England skipper has spent the second half of the season playing under Ancelotti at the San Siro and confirmed that the Milan players are ”pleading” with their boss not to leave.

Beckham told The Sun: ”Carlo Ancelotti’s man-management skills are exceptional. He is a brilliant coach.

”To have played under a manager of his quality is a real privilege. He is one of the greats. I have been lucky in my career to play under a few of the best in the business and he comes into that category.

”I just wish I had been able to play for him for many more years. It has been a lot of fun. Every single one of the Milan players adores him and doesn’t want him to go. They are pleading with him to stay.

”I know wherever he goes, and whatever he does, he will always have my admiration and respect.

”He is a low-key, private type of person. But there is another side to him. While I have never had the ‘hairdryer’ type treatment, I have seen it from him. When he wants to get his point across, he does it in no uncertain terms!”
