Manchester United legend Gary Neville has admitted he made major errors during his dismal spell in charge of Valencia.

Neville was appointed at the Mestalla in December 2015, but lasted less than four months in the job and won just three of his 16 La Liga games in charge.

“There was a couple of players there I should have moved out of the club, which would have established a bit of authority to them," he told the Blank Podcast.

"'Hang on he has got some power to do something here. He's in for five months but if we don't play ball he can damage us'.

“What I tried to do was pick up a rocky ship and just drift into shore rather than really grab the reins, have a strong leadership with me and also make sure that I got rid of what would be people who were making it choppy. I made some mistakes and they were all mine.

“I couldn't communicate with the players and the club was difficult but they were excuses.

"I knew I couldn't communicate with the players and I knew the club was difficult, I knew the dressing room was divided, I knew it was a difficult time in the club, I knew they'd sacked 15 managers in 13 years. I knew I was going to get criticised."
