Gary Neville – The future England manager

When Gary Neville took over from Andy Gray on Sky Sports at the start of last season to give an ‘analytical insight’ into the glorious game of football, I was a tad negative in thinking he wasn’t going to quite cut it as a good football analyst and presenter in front of the cameras.  But the more ‘Monday Night Football’ shows I’ve watched the more I’ve come to see sense in the man’s thinking.

He is a living legend in the eyes of the Manchester United faithful, with more winning experience at club level than most professional players will ever taste in their life time. 

Currently serving as coach to England under Roy Hodgson, I have opened my eyes to realise that he has more rights and privileges than Andy Gray ever had, to take centre stage on Sky Sports and deliver to fans the truth and reasoning behind success or failure on a football pitch. He knows what he is talking about!

I strongly believe he is destined for great things as a football manager. He has the ability to follow in the footsteps of ex-players like Pep Guardiola and Roberto Mancini and deliver success.  He has the respect of his fellow professionals coupled with the knowledge and the winning mentality to build a successful team.

A future England Manager for sure.
