GARY NEVILLE JOINS ENGLAND COACHING STAFF
- Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has has joined Roy Hodgson's coaching staff as England finalise preparations for Euro 2012, The Telegraph reported.
Neville confirmed his retirement from the game in Feb 2010, having played 602 times for United and made 85 England appearances.
A member of that famed 'Class of 92', he was widely acclaimed as the best right-back of his generation.
He was viewed as likely management material but instead took a pundits' role, for which he has received widespread praise, and also did a column for the Mail on Sunday, which will continue outside of major tournaments.
Whether Neville will receive criticism for this remains to be seen.
