Gary Neville Gets Sacked By Valencia In Time For El Clasico Punditry [Best Tweets]

Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has been sacked by La Liga side Valencia, with Pako Ayestaran to take charge until the end of the season.

 

Although Valencia won just three out of 16 matches under the Englishman, the timing of the news did come as a surprise. The Valencia appointment was Neville’s first job as the manager of a football club and those who claimed that Neville had made a poor decision were proved right.

Neville had previously been a pundit on Sky Sports’s Monday Night Football show along with Jamie Carragher. As such, after he was sacked by Los Che, his return to television punditry was widely speculated across social media.

There was even talk of Aston Villa (who are doomed to get relegated this season) being the perfect club for the 41-year-old to take charge of as a rookie manager. However, this Villa fan seemed to be completely opposed to that idea.

Some Manchester United fans seemed quite irked by the fact that Neville got the sack before their own manager Louis van Gaal.

Meanwhile, this Valencia fan fondly recounted some of the best highlights of the ex-Manchester United man’s tenure as Los Che boss.

Some fans even seemed to have a go at Spanish football pundit Guillem Balague.

All in all however, Bleacher Report perhaps summed up Neville’s predicament most accurately.
