Gary Neville: 'Experience with England coaching has been invaluable'

Gary Neville has described his experience coaching with England as "invaluable".

The former Manchester United captain, who was recently appointed head coach of Valencia, has been working as part of Roy Hodgson's backroom staff since 2012.

"Everything that I've done in my post-playing career has been for a reason," Neville said in an interview with Sky Sports News. "Being a coach with England under Roy [Hodgson] wasn't planned but when the phone call came, some things you have to do and want to do.

"What I've learned in the last four to five years under Roy has been invaluable. My tolerance levels have completely changed in terms of understanding players - what they like, what they don't like, how to behave in front on them."

After two games in charge of Valencia, Neville has overseen a defeat and a draw.
