Former Manchester United Defender Phil Neville Takes Over Portland Timbers

PORTLAND, OREGON.- Portland Timbers announced on Tuesday the hiring of Phil Neville as its new head coach. Neville, 46, joins the club with six years of experience as a top-flight coach, both in MLS and internationally.

“We’re excited to welcome Phil Neville to the Timbers family,” said Ned Grabavoy, the club’s sporting director. “He has the experience, leadership, and ambition we’re looking for in a head coach.”
