Tevez slams Neville

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has blasted Gary Neville’s approach to his coaching role with the England squad.

The former Manchester United defender is one of Sky Sports‘ top pundits as well as a coach within Roy Hodgson’s national setup, but the Argentine feels Neville should be more committed to the latter role.

And Tevez believes his former Old Trafford team-mate must make up his mind one way or the other before England can go on to compete for top honours, as ‘there is too much of a conflict of interest to do both’.

“Maybe England have to look at the structure of its coaching staff, which brings me to Gary Neville. I can’t believe that any of the top countries would employ a television pundit as a part-time coach,” Tevez told The Sun.

“(Neville is) happy to make jokes about players, referring them to a PlayStation game, but I’m not sure many World Cups have been won on PlayStation – so I think Gary needs to stop playing games and concentrate on his coaching.”

Tevez feels that while Neville’s punditry career is a benefit to the former England international, he must be ready to dedicate himself entirely to the England coaching role in order to help Hodgson.

“I know Sky is a high-profile and lucrative job and must pay well but he has to decide whether his first loyalty is to them or the FA,” he said.

“He should be out there watching games in the (English) Premier League or the Championship, reporting back on current players and those who might play a part in the World Cup and beyond.

“He should also be turning up at clubs, watching their sessions, seeing how top-class coaches work and how England players respond to them.”
