Gary Neville 'tried everything' to make Valencia job work – even outfit changes
Gary Neville had numerous outfit changes on hand during his ill-fated spell at Valencia that lasted just four months.
The Manchester United legend was appointed head coach of the La Liga side in December 2015 with his brother Phil Neville assuming the role of his assistant.
His tenure in sunny Spain lasted less than four months as he was sacked with the club sitting 14th in the table at the time of his departure and had won just three of their 16 league games under the Englishman.

His brief time in management certainly scarred him as he repeatedly stated in the past that he'll become a head coach again while his experience in Valencia has been regularly mocked on Sky Sports during his segments with David Jones and Jamie Carragher.
The teasing of the eight-time Premier League winner was on show on Sunday (April 21) after Everton's 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. Much had been made of Sean Dyche opting for a more casual look for the game with the Toffees boss sporting a tracksuit rather than his signature suit.

Jones asked Neville: "Is that good management, sometimes you need to change your outfit to try and affect a result?" which drew huge laughs from the United icon as well as Jamie Carragher as Neville replied: "I tried everything, absolutely everything" in relation to his time in Valencia as a graphic of him wearing four different outfits as Valencia boss was plastered across the screen.

Following Everton's vital win in their fight against relegation, Dyche was asked about his decision to change his attire as he answered: "I just made a decision to change myself, something different, I'm not really that bothered about it to be fair, I'm interested in the win, that's far more interesting than my outfit I'm sure of that".
