The England international is in talks with the Serie A club over a possible loan switch from the Los Angeles Galaxy, starting in January.

A move to the Rossoneri would see Beckham link up with two former winners of the FIFA World Player of the Year award in Ronaldinho and Andriy Shevchenko, as well as current title-holder Kaka.

And Ancelotti has no fears about integrating another big name in his side.

"Beckham is a great footballer and he can play anywhere," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.

"He can play in the centre of midfield or on the wing. Champions are resources, never problems."

Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso would also welcome the arrival of Beckham, even if his position could be under threat.

"It is never a problem when a club decides to enlarge its squad," he said.

"The way I see it is this: the arrival of Beckham shows the desire by the club to have an even stronger squad."

And Ancelotti is not hiding his desire to win the Scudetto this season after falling under the shadow of their city rivals Inter Milan in recent years.

"Our first aim is to play well," the coach said.

"With the quality players we have got, there is an obligation to provide a spectacle.

"The owner (Silvio Berlusconi) does not like winning narrowly, maybe with a single goal in the break - he demands a spectacle.

"And then we want to win the Scudetto."

Ancelotti was reluctant to discuss his future beyond the end of the season, although coaching away from Italy remains an option at some stage of his career.

He is contracted to the Rossoneri until 2010 and another crack at the Champions League next season remains a priority although he admits he has several other ambitions he would like to fulfil.

"I would like to lead one of the African nations at the 2010 World Cup," he revealed.

"I took part in the 1986 and 1990 World Cups as a player and in 1994 as assistant to (Arrigo) Sacchi and there is a fascinating atmosphere which I would like to experience again.

"Africa is producing talented players - players from that continent have great technical and physical resources.

"Maybe they are just lacking a bit of organisation, but maybe I can arrive and put things right, no?"
