“I think we are damaging ourselves” – Gary Neville on the Thomas Tuchel appointment

I think we are damaging ourselves. I do believe there are outstanding English candidates who could have been appointed.”

“We are in a rut when it comes to coaching. English coaching has one of the worst reputations in Europe – we don’t have a clear identity and have not built a style which is unique to us.”

“We have seen coaches from all around Europe come to the Premier League and in input their styles in our game and we’ve copied them, but in my opinion we need to build an identity and let English coaches flourish.”

“I thought we’d left that period [of appointing foreign coaches] behind.”
