“Time to make a change”
David Beckham has fired his longtime friend Phil Neville as manager of MLS club Inter Miami. The decision was announced by the bottom of the Eastern Conference on Thursday (local time). The 46-year-old had coached the team since January 2021 and reached the Major League Soccer playoffs once during that time. After 15 games this season, Miami has only five wins. Overall, there are an average of 1.32 points from 90 games.
With Beckham, who co-owns the club, Neville has played for both the England national team and Manchester United. With only three others, he was more often on the pitch together when he was active. “When we hired Phil we knew he would give his all at Inter Miami and I have seen him work incredibly hard and with real commitment towards the goals we have set for the club. He and his family felt comfortable in Miami and he is dedicated to bringing prosperity to the city and to our fans,” said Beckham. “Sometimes in this game we have to make the hardest decisions and unfortunately we feel it’s time to make a change. I would like to personally thank Phil for his hard work, his passion for our club and for his integrity as a person.”
