Phil Neville leaves Portland Timbers after admitting results did not match expectations
Phil Neville is no longer in charge of the Portland Timbers after they announced they had “mutually parted ways” with their head coach. “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,” said Timbers owner Merritt Paulson. Neville’s final match in charge of the Timbers was a 3-1 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes that left the team 13th in the MLS Western Conference, well short of a playoff place.
