Inter Miami, David Beckham’s biggest career failure?

What Inter Miami is currently experiencing in MLS is far from the plans that David Beckham had for his team, occupying the last place in the Eastern Conference despite the planning in the last preseason to revolutionize the franchise.

After its debut in 2020, Inter Miami has two tournaments in its history, in which it has ranked 10th and 11th in its conference respectively, far from the playoff spots.

Beckham promised a renewed Inter Miami

Ahead of the start of the 2022 season, Beckham sent a strong message to both the team and the league, assuring that “we are winners and we have high expectations… we executed the changes we had to make. We believe in this team and its players.”

Barely a few weeks have passed and the results couldn’t be worse for Inter. After four games played, they are the worst team in MLS, with three losses and a draw, occupying the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

With two goals scored the Florida team is the worst offense in the league and the second worst defense after conceding 10 goals, figures that seem to reflect that those led by Becks’ friend and old Manchester United acquaintance, Phil Neville, are not up to the task of ending this crisis.

Real Zaragoza, Beckham’s possible escape

While Inter Miami continues to experience low hours, Beckham and his partner, Jorge Mas, co-owner and CEO of the MLS team, are finalizing the details to buy a 90 percent stake in Real Zaragoza of Spain, another club that is unable to find solutions to its problems.

However, the Zaragoza charter could be an escape hatch for Beckham and Mas as they look to move on and sell Inter Miami to forget what has so far been a dark adventure and possibly the biggest failure in the Englishman’s career.
