Phil Neville has joined Canada's men's football team as a coach - just days after being fired by Inter Miami.
Neville, 46, was hired on Friday to join Canada's team coach John Herdman, a week after being jettisoned as head coach of David Beckham's MLS team.
Former Crystal Palace and Coventry City player Richard Shaw was also hired for Herdman's staff, ahead of the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal against Panama on June 15. This is being held in Las Vegas.
The pair join existing assistants Mauro Biello, Simon Eaddy and Eric Tenllado.
'It's an opportunity to come in, just get a different experience, take himself out of the head coach pressures and just enjoy a different environment,' Herdman said of Neville.

Canada's head coach John Herdman said it would be 'a different experience' for Neville
Shaw will remain with Canada for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Herdman said Neville could possibly remain for the Gold Cup.
Herdman added: 'Both Phil and Richard bring with them winning experiences at the highest levels and have worked with some of the premier leagues top managers during their careers.
'They’ll work as positional and unit coaches with the aim of helping us to win our first trophy in over two decades.'
If they beat Panama, they will face either the USA or Mexico in their bid for a first trophy since 2000.
