Phil Neville is committed the long haul with Inter Miami

Phil Neville has his heart set on a long stay in the United States as he prepares for his second season as head coach at David Beckham’s Inter Miami.

Former Manchester United defender Neville took over at the MLS outfit last year after leaving his post as the manager of the England women’s side.

The 45-year-old endured a difficult first campaign at the Fort Lauderdale-based club – which is part-owned by his former United and England team-mate Beckham – as they failed to make the end-of-season play-offs.

After overseeing a major overhaul of the squad in the close season, Neville will now face pressure to deliver but he is fully committed to life in Florida on the field at Inter and off it with his family.

“We are committed, we don’t go half measures,” said Neville at an MLS launch event. “We’ve got no house or property in England, there’s nothing to come home for apart from family.

“We love living in the US and we as a family, and me personally, want this to be a success.

“I want longevity in this role. I think there’s nothing better than a manager in place for a long time. That’s what longevity means and I think that breeds success.

“I want to be successful and I want to repay the faith that David and (co-owner) Jose (Mas) have put in me.”

A lot of Neville’s happiness comes from the fact his family have embraced the move to the US.

His son Harvey, 19, is also on the books at Inter and has been playing for their reserve side Fort Lauderdale.

Neville said: “I’m married to an incredible woman. We were in rented accommodation for maybe two or three months but I came home one day – we’d just lost a game – and
