Gary Neville’s reign as Valencia coach has come to an end. The decision is coming few days after protesters burnt an effigy of him.  

“Valencia have today terminated the contractual relationship with first-team coach Gary Neville. After carefully analysing the situation, the club have decided to make this change in the best interests of Valencia when looking toward the rest of the season. The club thank Gary Neville for his work and wish him the best of luck for the future.” The club announced. 

The TV pundit who won just three games less than four months in charge admitted that he failed to reach the expected standard at the Spanish outfit.

“I want to thank Valencia, the fans, the coaching staff and players.  I would have liked to continue the work I started, but I understand that we are in a business based on results and in 28 games we have seen 10 wins, seven draws and 11 defeats, which is not the level demanded by me or by this club.”
