Phil Neville yet to agree Valencia assistant coach role

Phil Neville has told the BBC he has yet to agree terms with Valencia over the assistant coach role at the club.

The Spanish club announced on Sunday that former Manchester United full-back Neville had joined the coaching staff, working under head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

However, Neville -- who worked as a pundit for the BBC at the 2014 World Cup as well as on "Match of the Day" -- told the organisation later on Sunday that negotiations were ongoing and there was a long way to go before any deal was agreed.

Neville, 38, had worked at United as a coach under former manager David Moyes but was not kept on after the Scot was sacked and then replaced by Louis van Gaal at the end of the 2013-14 season.

Neville won 59 caps for England and lifted the Champions League, six Premier League titles and three FA Cups during his time with United.

He finished a 19-year playing career at Everton in 2013 before turning his focus to coaching.
