Gary Neville: 'I may never coach in football again'

Gary Neville admits that he may never manage a football club again following a failed four-month spell in charge of Valencia.

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has admitted that he may never coach in football again following a failed stint in charge of Valencia.

The 41-year-old spent just four months at the helm of the Spanish club last season, guiding the team to three wins in 16 La Liga games.

Neville, who also stepped down from his coaching role with the England national team after Euro 2016, returned to Sky Sports as a pundit following his coaching failure.

The retired full-back is also involved in numerous business ventures, including part-ownership of Salford City FC, and he believes that his commitments away from football would delay a potential return to coaching in the next five years.

In an interview with Sky Sports News, Neville said: "I always say 'never say never' because my love of football is too great, but I genuinely believe it will be very difficult for me to go back into coaching because of my commitment now to so many different things.

"It's my obligation to deliver Salford City to the Football League. It's my obligation to roll out Hotel Football internationally. It's my obligation to deliver high-end restaurants with Michael O'Hare. It's my obligation to deliver St Michael's, which I believe is the best development in Manchester.

"I can't go back into coaching now in the short term - the next five years - and the reality of it is I don't want to. It could be that I'm no longer ever a coach in football but that's not a loss. Some people might think it is, but the fact of the matter is it's not to me."

Neville won 20 trophies, including eight Premier League titles, during a 19-year spell at United in his playing days.
