Manchester United legend and co-owner of Inter Miami David Beckham has insisted it was a difficult decision but the time was now right to sack Phil Neville as the club's head coach.
Neville was appointed in January 2021 after a three-year stint as the England Women's national team head coach. In his two-and-a-half years in charge of Miami, the former United full back's greatest achievement was leading the club to the MLS Cup playoffs in 2022.
However, this season has been a struggle with Miami averaging a point per game which sees them sit bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference. Following the 1-0 defeat by New York Red Bulls overnight, the decision was made by Beckham and the rest of the board to relieve both Neville and his assistant Jason Kreis of their duties.
