Neville has coaching plans

Everton captain Phil Neville believes brother Gary will become a “fantastic” manager in time and is determined to follow him down the coaching path.

Former Manchester United defender Gary, 37, is in Ukraine with England having joined Roy Hodgson’s set-up last month. The ex-England international, who holds UEFA A and B coaching licences, has signed a four-year contract with the Football Association.

“Gary will be a fantastic coach and I’m sure one day he will be a fantastic manager,” said Phil, who has just completed the first part of his A licence courses. “He’s got that aura about him and the knowledge, and I think he’ll have the respect of the players.”
