Canizares urges Gary Neville to resign

Former Valencia goalkeeper Santiago Canizares has called for Gary Neville's resignation following Wednesday night's 7-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi-final.

Neville, who took on his first managerial role at the Mestalla in December, is yet to pick up a win in eight La Liga games.

Following last night's humiliation in the Copa del Rey, Canizares took to Twitter to complain about Neville and demanded an apology from the 40-year-old.

He tweeted: "I expected the coach's resignation, as well as some apologies. I may be ignorant, but I'm surprised he hasn't done it, I thought he was honest."

After the match, Neville was adamant that he will not step down from his position at the Spanish club.
