Ex-Man Utd, Everton star Neville receives glowing endorsement from Real Sociedad boss Moyes

Real Sociedad boss David Moyes believes that his former assistant Phil Neville could become manager of England one day.

Neville was a part of the Everton squad for eight years under Moyes before joining his coaching staff during his ill-fated spell at Manchester United.

Now, Neville has joined Valencia's coaching staff and Moyes feels he has a great future in the coaching caper.

"Phil Neville could be on the road to one day, maybe, becoming the England manager," Moyes told the Telegraph.

"I know him closely. He was a great captain, a great leader. He's had great experience. "After he finished playing he came back to United then he chose to take a year out and had a chance to see how the media works – which is important – and he's clever, enthusiastic and a good coach."
