Gary Neville Takes Us All by Surprise

Sprinklers Are Scary

Earlier today odds dramatically dropped on Gary Neville taking on the job at Fulham - only for it to be announced hours later that he’d be joining Philip at Valencia and taking over as head coach.

Spare a moment for Phil who’s been with the club since the summer and was to take over as interim coach until a successor could be named. Once again he has found himself overshadowed by his big brother.
Gary was gracious enough to allow Phil to head up Valencia’s inevitable thrashing at the hands of Barcelona as he is set to take charge the day after, officially taking charge on Sunday. He is set to remain their until the end of the season.

While the former Manchester United defender has stepped down from his position as Sky Sports pundit with immediate, he will remain with the national team. England head coach Roy Hodgson said "As far as I'm concerned, this will be an extra string to his bow and the experience he will gain working in the Spanish league can only be beneficial to our work together with the England team.”

Peter Lim, Valencia owner has a stake in the none-league club, Salford City, which Gary Neville has a stake in.

On his new opportunity, Neville said: “Valencia are a huge football club of immense standing - and I know from my time as a player the passion and dedication of the Valencia fans.”

His first official game in charge will be at the Mestalla in next Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Lyon.
