Valencia has officially confirmed the news that Gary Neville has been named as the head coach until the end of this season. Quite a shocking news for sure.
The iconic United captain now a day has become renowned for his excellent punditry skills for Sky Sports, but apart from this, he is also acting as a backroom staff for Roy Hodgson, manager of England national team for the last three or four years.
Valencia parted ways with their manager Nuno Espirito Santo last Sunday after yet another frustrated result against Sevilla at the Pizjuan Stadium by losing 1-0; that meant Phil Neville, an assistant coach at the club, would take the temporary charge until the end of this campaign.
However, with a surprising turn of events it’s actually Phil’s brother, Gary, who will now take over at the Mestalla until the end of this season and twitter reacted hilariously at the news.
Good luck to Gary and Phil Neville for the rest of the season with Valencia! pic.twitter.com/knb6wd2xAg

@GaryLineker @GNev2 Wonder how @fizzer18 feels. It’s a bit of a bizarre appointment considering Phil is ok in Spanish and Gary speaks Nada.
