I don’t think I’ll ever manage again – Neville

Gary Neville says it is unlikely that he will go into management again after his torrid time as boss of La Liga outfit Valencia.

The Manchester United legend took over the Spanish side in December 2015 but lasted less than four months after only three wins from 16 La Liga games.

When asked whether he sees himself becoming a manager again, Neville said: “No. I don’t think I’ll go into management again at all. I’m committed to my businesses and other things.

“But what did I learn? Well, what’s leadership? How do you create a culture of loyalty while also being a clinical and ruthless decision maker?

“I will give you an example. After two weeks of me going in, I knew two senior players wanted to leave. They weren’t with the club. I thought I could upskill them and I should have ended it there and then. Moving forwards in business, I will see in their eyes whether they are with you or not, and I that will help decide whether I kick them out.

“If they are not working hard and are not with, you have to cut the ties. I was aware. I rang up Sir Alex Ferguson after 10 days, he told me to get rid of them. I thought ‘I’ve only been here 10 days, what if the the fans think I’m a hitman? What will the dressing room make of it?’ It plays tricks with yor mind. Overall, people are obssessed with blaming other people but I only look at what I did wrong and three or four critical errors.”
