Phil Neville and David Beckham in their Manchester United playing days. Neville has been named as the new coach at Beckham's Inter Miami MLS franchise AFP/PAUL BARKERMIAMI: David Beckham stressed on Friday that his close friendship with Phil Neville wasn't behind the former England women's coach's arrival as Inter Miami boss.
Neville, who has never held a head coach role in the men's game after three years working for England's women, snubbed the chance to lead Great Britain's women's team at the Tokyo Olympics and heads to Miami on a two-year deal. Beckham is adamant Neville is the perfect fit for Inter Miami who endured a difficult inaugural MLS campaign, winning just seven games before losing in the first round of the play-offs to fellow newcomers Nashville."People speak about Phil's experience, he has had a few experiences in the men's game and more recently with the England women's national team but his experience comes from being a player," Beckham told AFP.
