Brazilian star Neymar has revealed that the lack of managerial stability put him off a move to the Premier League.
The 21-year-old forward was linked with moves to Manchester City and Chelsea, but he ended speculation by signing for Spanish giants Barcelona.
Neymar insists that he was keen to join a side that could offer stability as well as success - ruling out the likes of Chelsea and City.
"My family spoke to me about joining a club where you could not just win things but where there is stability," Neymar said in the Daily Express.
"I don't want to play for a club that changes coach every season."
Neymar is expected to feature in tonight's friendly against England at the Maracana Stadium.
