Phil Neville has admitted he knew his time at Inter Miami would come to an end when Lionel Messi joined the club. Inter Miami owner David Beckham made the decision to sack his long-time pal Neville…
But Neville got the chance to coach him after getting the sack"I've been in football a long time and sometimes it is not meant to be. I am not bitter, twisted or angry."
Getting the sack is never easy for managers but getting that dreaded call from one of your best friends in football must rankle even further. However, Neville insisted that Beckham dealt with the situation immaculately and has no complaints over his dismissal."I have had two special moments in my career away from the medals that I won and that is when I left Manchester United and when I left Miami."My best friend, one of my lifelong friends, delivered the news that I wasn't going to work for Inter Miami and that was really hard.
"I don't have any bitterness and I don't look back. Sir Alex Ferguson taught me that, my father taught me that - don't look back because if you look back you end up with pain and anger and bitterness.I dreamed of playing for Newcastle but Klopp changed my mind, then I went to ArsenalMessi, meanwhile, has hit the ground running since arriving in Miami, scoring an incredible nine times in six matches.
