Phil Neville has officially parted ways with the Portland Timbers after a challenging start to the 2024 Major League Soccer (MLS) season. Under his leadership, the team managed to secure only four victories out of 14 matches, placing them near the bottom of the Western Conference standings at 13th. Neville's tenure, which began ahead of the current season, concluded with a record of 27 wins, 31 losses, and 24 draws. His departure was announced shortly after a 3-1 home defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes. In his farewell statement, Neville thanked the Timbers' front office, players, and fans, acknowledging the club's expectations for better results. Timbers owner Merritt Paulson commended Neville for his leadership qualities and dedication to the club and community. General manager Ned Grabavoy also expressed appreciation for Neville's contributions but noted the need for improvement and better results. The Timbers have not yet appointed an interim coach as the MLS is currently on hiatus for the international break.
