The season does not get underway until March but one of Beckham’s first tasks is to bring in a new manager.
The Inter Miami owner has held talks with Phil Neville and the England Women’s boss is close to taking the job.
Neville is reportedly keen on the opportunity and the MLS side hope to finalise a deal soon.
Inter Miami finished tenth in the 14-team Eastern Conference last season, clinching the final playoff spot.
Following the season’s return from the enforced coronavirus break, the club finished bottom of their ‘MLS is back’ group, ending their season.
Coach Diego Alonso was sacked by the club this week, paving the way for a reunion between the former United and England team-mates.
But Beckham is not just focused on appointing a new manager with the owner having his hands full at the club.
The Real Madrid legend could be forced to change the team’s name with the club losing the first round of their legal battle with Inter Milan.
