Phil Neville says TV career can boost coaching prospects

Former Manchester United coach Phil Neville says his move into television can launch his managerial career.

David Moyes' departure meant Neville was no longer required at United and the 37-year-old will now join Match of the Day for its 50th anniversary season.

"I see this as a vital time in my coaching and managerial career - I've got a 25-year plan," Neville told the Daily Mail.

"I want to build my own philosophy, I want to write my own philosophy, I want to watch and study games, I want to spend time with top managers.

"That's the whole philosophy of everything from the Under-8s to the first team, from the discipline to the style.

"I've been fortunate in the last 12 months to read other people's philosophies.

"I want to build up a dossier, a bible so that when I go into a club I can say, 'This is what I'm about'."
