Phil Neville has everything to prove after Inter Miami’s rough season

David Beckham appointed his old friend as his team's coach. The results so far have not been promising

It took six years for David Beckham's Inter Miami team to make it onto a football field. It's going to take a while longer for success to follow. Under the guidance of head coach Phil Neville, the second-year expansion team is ending the season well adrift of the MLS playoffs.

After leaving the England women's team to join his old Manchester United teammate in Miami, Neville was unable to lift a goal-shy roster into the Eastern Conference's top seven. Six straight losses - by a combined score of 16-1 - undid a promising mid-season revival that saw only one defeat in 11.
