Phil Neville set for Spanish adventure with Valencia

Valencia claim have hired former Manchester United coach Phil Neville as assistant to head coach Nuno Espirito Santo after the departure of Scotsman Ian Cathro.

The appointment of the former Manchester United and Everton player will come as something of a surprise after a year working as a pundit for the BBC.

Valencia have a vacancy in the role after Cathro left to become assistant to Steve McClaren at Newcastle and Neville appears to be the man they want.
