Fergie backs Neville to be a success

Gary-Nevilles-Playing-Career (1)Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Gary Neville to be a success in his new job as Valencia manager, adding the former United captain has everything it takes to make an excellent manager.

Neville was a surprise choice for the La Liga club, although Fergie believes Valencia have made the right choice by appointing the England coach, who has all the qualities a coach needs to succeed.

“I think Gary has all the qualities required to be a success,” Fergie said.

“He’s not afraid to make decisions. He knows his own mind.

“Leadership matters, whatever industry you’re in – some people are leaders, some aren’t. Gary has that ability to lead and, most importantly, he won’t be afraid of the challenge he’s taking on.”
