"I am immensely proud of the work that we all have done creating a culture of hard work and spirit.

"Also, having the courage to give opportunities to the incredibly talented group of young players we have developed during my time here.

"I will always have Inter Miami CF in my heart."

Miami announced the former England International's departure midway through his third season in charge with a blunt social media message on Thursday night.

Supporters held up signs calling for Neville's sacking following the dire midweek defeat - and even booed his son Harvey.

The ex-Lionesses' chief, 46, was unveiled by Miami owner Becks in January 2021.

But although they reached the MLS Cup play-offs last season, Nev's men have struggled from the start this campaign.

Miami have picked up just five wins from 15 games in the Eastern Conference and sit bottom of the table.
