After a week of voluntary sessions at Inter Miami CF Training Center, preseason has finally begun in South Florida. Inter Miami had its first official preseason training session today, March 8, kicking off the countdown to the return of MLS action.

With the start of preseason came Phil Neville’s first official training session as head coach of Inter Miami. The new boss was thrilled to get started.

“I’m immensely proud. I came here three or four weeks ago, and even now when I walk into the building, I drive on the I-95 and when I turn off of it I see the stadium, I see the complex and it makes me feel really proud, it makes me feel I’m part of something really special. That feeling hasn’t changed,” said Neville. “I think as a coach you look for reactions, you look for people trying to make an impact…everyone is doing the right things at this moment in time.

“We have a long way to go, it’s the first official day of preseason, we have a six-week preseason, then we have the start to the season where we have to perform. I think nobody in this building is under any illusion, this season has to be better. Everybody is accountable for their own performances and we’re going to make sure that we push the players, we raise the level of expectations, and we put high demands on them. We’re training a lot of double sessions this week, and we want to make sure that from the first week we hit the ground running really fast.”
