Who tells David Beckham what to do (besides a certain Spice girl)? L.A. Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit, that's who. Now, Gullit hopes to display a move of his own. He's listed his Hollywood Hills West house for sale at $4.25 million.

The house, built in 1937, is located on a private knoll. It has a step-down living room with a wood-burning fireplace (remember those?). The living room opens to an outdoor pool and spa area surrounded by cascading gardens. Quite a romantic place. The house was recently remodeled and now has a state-of-the-art kitchen, a master bedroom suite with a steam shower, sunken bathtub and balcony overlooking the city. There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms in the 3,200-square-foot traditional-style house.

Gullit, 45, was named last year to the Galaxy post. A Dutchman, he was European footballer of the year in 1987. He was a member of the Netherlands' national team in the 1990 World Cup; in 1996, London's Chelsea Football Club named him the team's player of the year.

Rebekah Schwartz of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills, is the listing agent.
