‘Gary Neville must prove he can be good coach’

Valencia Vs Barcelona Live streaming & TV channel info, Preview, Live Score Updates: La Liga – Gary Neville won’t make his administrative bow against Barcelona this weekend, as he just formally ventures in as Valencia’s head mentor on 6 December.

“I have been offered many jobs in football over the last four or five years but the timing has not been right”, Neville told a news conference in Valencia yesterday.

Senior sources at Old Trafford also concede they will also discuss more experienced managers when considering who will replace Van Gaal in 18 months’ time.

“I want to win, I will never settle for a draw”, he said on Thursday.

Make it permanent. Learn the language, as Guardiola did when he went to Germany; impose yourself on a foreign league, as Arsene Wenger and Rafa Benitez once did in England, and as Mauricio Pochettino and Ronald Koeman continue to do.

It will certainly be a family affair in Valencia as Neville announced brother Phil will remain at the club he joined in the summer as assistant coach – while his wife and children will also relocate to join him in Spain. It’s a big contribution he’s made at England and I’ve seen it in him.

Neville fielded numerous questions about how his side will play.

I think he’ll have to if his team is to get anything from this game. He has a huge amount of experience from playing under Sir Alex Ferguson which will count for a lot and his job with England has taken him to a World Cup.

“If he can get Valencia to perform at even 80 percent of their potential they will achieve that objective, so it’s all set up nicely for him”. “My girls will finish school in Manchester in two weeks’ time and they’ll move over to Valencia with my wife”.

Ryan, who returned from a knee injury against Sevilla and retained his starting role in Valencia’s 3-1 Copa del Rey win over Barakaldo midweek, added: “It’s very early in the season for me because of my injury. He was 100% I should do it”, Neville said. “Everyone understands that Valencia will be my priority for 95% of the time but that doesn’t stop me talking on the phone to Roy and the rest of the staff. I have a lot of hours in the day”.

Valencia supporters are well known in Spain for their demanding expectations, and there were mixed reactions to Neville’s appointment.

“I know the business we are in”. We all know about his success on the screen with Neville shining in his position on Monday Night Football.
