Phil Neville has left his role as manager of MLS side Portland Timbers by mutual consent.
Neville departs after two-and-a-half seasons in charge, with the club currently sitting 13th in the Western Conference.
The former Premier League defender’s side have lost eight of their 14 league games so far this campaign, including a 2-1 defeat to San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday.
This is Neville’s second exit from an MLS club after he was sacked as Inter Miami manager in 2023.
His former Manchester United teammate and Miami owner, David Beckham, let him go with the club at the bottom of the table.
Portland appointed him as their boss five months after that, but they have also now let the Englishman go.
On his exit, Neville said: “I’d like to thank Merritt Paulson [owner], Ned Grabavoy [general manager], and the entire Portland family for their unwavering support in giving me the job and standing behind me.
“To my staff, thank you for your incredible loyalty and hard work.
“And to the most incredible bunch of players: thank you for the effort, the good times, the good results, the bad results, and all the laughs we shared together.
“I realise we are in a results business, and the results haven’t been to the expectation of this football club.
“To the Timbers Army — you are the reason I felt inspired to try and bring success to this club. Keep getting behind the players and the club in this wonderful city.
“I will miss you all.”
‘I cannot thank Phil enough’
Neville is leaving Portland with plenty of appreciation from his bosses following his 95-game stint on the touchline.
His overall record consisted of 34 wins, 24 draws and 37 losses.
Timbers owner Merritt Paulson said: “In my nearly two decades of owning and operating the Portland Timbers, there are very few people I have enjoyed working with more than Phil Neville.
“Phil has outstanding leadership qualities and a boundless sense of positivity even in the face of adversity.
“I cannot thank Phil enough for his tireless dedication to this club and the Portland community, which he and his family truly embraced.”
Meanwhile, general manager Ned Grabavoy added: “We are appreciative of Phil’s commitment and efforts during his time with the Portland Timbers.
“Phil brought enthusiasm and passion to the role, and it was a pleasure to work with him. We wish Phil all the best in his next opportunity.
“This offseason we had pointed discussions about the areas we needed to build on and improve.
“Ultimately, we have not seen the progress we’ve needed to, and, most importantly, results have fallen well short of expectations.”
Neville will now look for his next job, having spent the last five years in the United States, taking on his first managerial roles in men’s football.
Before his spell across the pond, he was England Women’s boss, leading them for three years until he joined Inter Miami.
