Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi has spoken of working with Gary Neville at Valencia.
The Manchester United legend lasted less than six months in charge of Los Che.
"I respected him as a player — he was fantastic," Mustafi told the Daily Mail. "As a coach I think he had the right ideas but at that time in Valencia it was difficult for every coach, not just Gary Neville.
"I tried to talk as much as possible with him because he was a great defender. I wanted to learn from him but he was in a learning process, too. He wasn't used to Spanish football. It was a situation where I was trying to learn from him and he was trying to learn from us.
"I don't know if he will go back to coaching but if he wants he can because he has the character to be a leader."
