Cristiano Ronaldo has replaced David Beckham as the model for Emporio Armani’s underwear range.

Armani announced Ronaldo would be taking over from Beckham who has been the body of the Armani range for four years.

Beckham’s image in underwear he has promoted for Armani is unforgettable and bordering on iconic. His wife, Victoria Beckham, has also posed for the range, both by herself and with her husband.

Ronaldo, a steamy Portuguese rising soccer star who was spotted out in Los Angeles with Paris Hilton earlier this year, will be the “new official worldwide testimonial” for the label’s Men’s Underwear and Armani Jeans lines.

He will grace posters and billboards for the next Spring/Summer line.

LA Galaxy star David Beckham has no plans to leave the US and return to European football, according to reports.

David, 34, and wife Victoria, 35, moved to LA two years ago when David signed for the team.

However, he recently returned from a five-month stint playing for AC Milan on loan, but fans were less than impressed and said he wasn’t committed to the side.

A source said: “There’s no question over where David sees his future – the States. America has been wonderful for the family.

“The boys adore the lifestyle and get glowing report cards. David will have to try to make his football commitments work on both sides of the Atlantic.

“It won’t change their ultimate desire to stay in America and even welcome a new addition to the brood in the next few years.”

One of David Beckham’s LA Galaxy team-mates has said that his comments about the footballer were taken out of context in a soon-to-be released controversial new book.

Galaxy midfielder Chris Klein was quoted in The Beckham Experiment, supposedly questioning the British football star’s ability as a captain.

But Klein now claims that his comments – which he admits he did make – may have been taken out of context.

“It’s the context I have an issue with,” he said.

“I would think it’s a shame if [the book] comes out as an attack on him.”

In the book, written by Grant Wahl, Klein is quoted as saying: “I really like David as a person… but it’s a different type of leadership that has to go on with all this…

“It’s difficult for a foreign player to do that because [he doesn't] know what the college kid had to go through, [he doesn't] know what it’s like to make $12,000 a year.”

Galaxy captain Landon Donovan also criticised Beckham. He is quoted as saying: “I can’t think of another guy where I’d say, ‘He wasn’t a good team-mate, he didn’t give everything through all this, he didn’t still care.’

“But with [Beckham], I’d say: ‘No, he wasn’t committed.’”

Beckham returns to LA Galaxy on 16 July, when the team is scheduled to play in New York.
