Phil Neville has been appointed as a coach with the Canada national football team. The former Manchester United player was axed as manager of Major League Soccer team Inter Miami a week ago with the team bottom of the Eastern Conference.
But Neville is back in the game, linking up with Canada ahead of the Concacaf Nations League Finals in Las Vegas later this month.
Neville will work alongside manager John Herdman, who guided Canada to the World Cup in Qatar, while former Premier League defender Richard Shaw has also been added to the coaching ranks.
Canada play Panama on June 15 in the Nations League semi-final with a final against the USA or Panama on offer for the winners.

"They’ll work as positional and unit coaches with the aim of helping us to win our first trophy in over two decades." Neville spent two and a half years in charge of Inter Miami before being sacked earlier this month.
