Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has been appointed as Valencia’ s head coach until the end of the season. The English assistant will work alongside brother Phil at the Mestalla after coach Nuno quit the Spanish side last week . The La Liga club are owned by Peter Lim who also has a stake in Salford City, where Neville is a part owner . This recent story has completely shocked the football world, as no one really saw such an appointment coming . Whilst Gary Neville has impressed many with his punditry and tactical insight on Sky Sports , there were no signs that the 40- year -old was looking to get into management so soon , and his appointment at a club the size of Valencia is also quite shocking.
