Phil Neville sacked by Inter Miami as former Man Utd team-mate David Beckham brutally swings axe following fan fury
DAVID BECKHAM has sacked his former Manchester United team-mate Phil Neville as Inter Miami manager.
Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to New York Red Bulls left Miami bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference, with fans’ fury soaring.

And Inter confirmed Neville’s departure midway through his third season with a blunt social media message on Thursday night.
Below an announcement of the management changes, they posted a black and white picture of the former England defender behind the words “THANK YOU Phil Neville”.
Supporters held up signs calling for Neville’s sacking following the dire midweek defeat – and even booed his son.
The ex-Lionesses’ chief, 46, was unveiled by Miami owner Becks in January 2021.
But although they reached the MLS Cup play-offs last season, Nev’s men have struggled from the start this campaign.
Miami have picked up just five wins and 15 points in the Eastern Conference.
The only bright spot is a place in the US Open quarter-finals.
But Neville sat stony-faced as Red Bulls striker Tom Barlow hit the only goal.
Miami’s Ecuadorian frontman Leonardo Campana missed an early penalty.
But the Red Bulls even held on for victory after having Cameron Harper sent off late on.
Miami have named assistant coach Javier Morales as their interim boss.
The Argentinian, 43, played for FC Dallas and Real Salt Lake.
But fellow assistant coach Jason Kreis is leaving alongside Neville.
