Gary Neville thinking of long-term future at Valencia

Gary Neville has bought a house in Valencia for his family and believes he could be there for as long as six years. 

The manager only has a six-month contract with Los Che but is thinking long-term, and revealed as much in an interview with the Telegraph.

“You are always in a position whereby you are one month, two months, six months away from losing your job. So the idea of six months is to me not an issue,” Neville explained. 

“If it’s for six months and it goes really well then I could be here for six years. I am committed to being here, I have brought my family out here and I feel if I can make a success of this it will be an incredible experience for me, for my family. How I move on from here – who knows?

“But my commitment is there. The commitment with the family is there - the kids have got a new school. I plan to be successful. You can’t plan on being a failure.”

He also said he has not taken the Valencia job to be in a good position to one day take the Manchester United or England jobs in the near future. 

“The idea that I have taken this job so I can pounce on one of those other two jobs – it’s absolutely not true," he stated.
