0-0It appears this story is not new — the headline you mentioned (“David Beckham backs Phil Neville … after six straight defeats”) dates back to mid‑2021. At that time, Inter Miami indeed suffered six consecutive MLS losses, and Phil Neville, then‐manager, publicly apologized to fans. David Beckham responded by reaffirming his full support .
Here’s a summary of what actually happened back in July 2021 — and how events unfolded since:

🔙 The 2021 Slump & Beckham’s Support
372-1On July 21, 2021, Inter Miami fell to a 5‑0 defeat against New England Revolution, marking their sixth straight loss. That run left them rooted to the bottom of the Eastern Conference and prompted manager Phil Neville to publicly apologise to supporters for the poor performance .
843-0Neville said, “It’s the lowest in terms of my feelings after a defeat… I can only apologise to them [fans] for what they saw tonight,” and emphasized the importance of playing for pride, the badge, and the supporters .
1088-0Despite the crisis, David Beckham (co‑owner) issued a show of solidarity: “I feel their [owners] full support – I always have done,” he said, backing Neville to turn things around .

🗓 What Happened Afterwards
Neville managed to survive the 2021 season, which ended in disappointment but didn’t immediately cost him the job.
1309-1He stayed on and led the team into 2022, guiding them to their first-ever MLS Cup playoff appearance, though they exited in the first round .
1637-0On June 1, 2023, keeping with his earlier supportive stance, Beckham and Inter Miami relieved Neville of his duties after another poor run, publicly thanking him for his hard work .

✅ Bottom Line
The “sixth straight defeat” and Beckham’s backing stem from July 2021 — not a current or fresh development.
Since then, Phil Neville left the job in June 2023, by Beckham’s decision.
If you’re after recent updates on Inter Miami’s managerial situation, its 2025 form, or Beckham’s current stance, I can look them up — but the scenario you described refers to events from nearly four years ago.
