Gary Neville appointed England coach

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has joined Roy Hodgson's coaching staff as England finalise preparations for Euro 2012.
The 37-year-old has signed a four-year-contract with the Football Association and will begin work immediately.
"Gary has achieved so much in the game as a player with Manchester United and England," Hodgson said.
"At my first meeting with the FA, I explained that Gary was someone I wanted as part of my staff."

It's a shame for TV, as I think he's been a fantastic pundit for Sky this season.

I suspect he will carry on, but on a more limited basis and we won't see as much of him.

I think he'll be a good fit for the coaching staff and I'm pleased for the chap.

A fair bit of the hate that he's had over the years from other supporters seems to have died down this season as he's been a good pundit and not biased as heck as first thought.

A good appointment imo.
 
Sod England, he's the only half decent pundit around. If we lose him just to facilitate another 4 years worth of pathetic failure I would be a sad panda! :(
 
Would suck immensely if MNF was effected by this, he's only used as a commentator sparingly as it is but I would have liked to see him more in that role next season as well (almost used as a pundit for the first game on Super Sunday then as commentator for the second game like Andy Grey used to and then complete analysis on the MNF) :(

Football coverage basically needs a lot more Gary Neville
 
He will stay with Sky. Not sure on this really, he has no coaching experience which makes it a strange decision, and he might struggle getting the respect of some of the morons, of which there are plenty. We will see
 
Isn't Phil Neville coaching with the under 21's or the Olympic side as well? Neville Bro's representing :D
 
Excellent appointment.

Some of the England senior players are going to be difficult to manage. They may not have sufficient respect for Hodgson and I think Gary Neville will help deal with some of these egos.
 
I want him to continue being a pundit on Sky, did very well yesterday considering, better than every bloody Liverpool pundit on TV (I suppose Hansen is okay.).
