Everton skipper Phil Neville is delighted for brother Gary over his England appointment.

Neville does not believe there will be a clash of interests because he rates honesty as his brother's best quality.

"I know what Gary will do for the squad," Neville told Sportsweek on BBC Radio Five Live.

"It came as a bolt out of the blue. He has had such a successful time with Sky and I think he was looking to put his feet up this summer.

"The first thing I thought was 'what a clever move by Roy Hodgson'. From a PR exercise, he has not gone for a yes man, he has gone for someone who will challenge him and the team.

"I think it was a masterstroke. There is a new era coming in now. I am really positive and quite excited.
