Inter Miami owner David Beckham has justified the decision to sack Phil Neville, with the MLS team currently last in the Eastern Conference.
Following their latest defeat in MLS, Miami announced Thursday that they had parted ways with Neville - with a poor run of results leading to his eventual departure. Beckham admitted it was "right to make a change" with Miami struggling after 15 games, with making the playoffs the minimum requirement expected.
"Phil has made a real contribution to the culture of our club with his qualities as a leader and knowledge as a coach," Beckham said in a statement after Neville was sacked. "Sometimes in this game we have to make the toughest decisions and sadly we feel the time is right to make a change."
