The 37-year-old ended his six-year spell at LA Galaxy after winning their second successive MLS Cup title at the beginning of this month.
Although the former England captain announced his intentions to continue playing, Bernstein is keen for him to take up a role within the association in the future.
"He is an asset that English football should treasure and I hope at some stage that perhaps The FA and David Beckham can get close together," Bernstein told reporters.
"That might be a little bit down the road but he is a fine figure in British football and he has become a unique figure. He is probably the most recognisable sports figure in the world I suspect.
"I'm not mad about the word 'brand', but he's a real footballing figure, a fine player and sportsman. He's someone who has projected themselves and done wonderfully well for us in so many ways.
"So I'd like to congratulate him on what he's done and look forward to the next stage in his career."
