Forced to operate from a distance last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, David Beckham promised on Friday to be the hands on owner he said he would be and defended hiring his friend Phil Neville as Inter-Miami coach.
Despite qualifying for the Major League Soccer playoffs in their debut campaign in 2020, Beckham said he was not happy with the culture within the club he co-owns with Jorge Mas and started the new season by sacking manager Diego Alonso and bringing in former Manchester United team mate Neville.
"Of course people are always going to turn around and say,"Oh he's your friend," explained Beckham."It had nothing to do with him being my friend. "The reality is David is my friend and about two weeks ago he became my boss." said Neville."Yes, our families have been friends but I think when it gets down to work we're here to win, we're here to be successful, we're here to build something great.
