Phil Neville was fired Thursday halfway through his third season as coach of David Beckham’s Inter Miami with the team last in Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference.
Miami also fired assistant coach Jason Kreis and promoted Javier Morales, another assistant, to interim head coach.
“I have watched him work incredibly hard and with real commitment towards the ambitions we set out for the club,” Beckham said in a statement. “Sometimes in this game we have to make the toughest decisions and sadly we feel the time is right to make a change.”
