"On Wednesday evening, a somewhat unexpected news appeared on the official website of the 'Valencia' club that Gary Neville is being relieved of his duties as head coach. The 41-year-old strategist took over the reins of the 'Bats' on December 2, 2015, but failed to live up to the expectations placed on him and today the Spanish club made the final decision. In the last five games, the 'Valencia' team suffered four losses and only celebrated one victory. The 'Bats' were also eliminated by the Bilbao 'Athletic' club from the UEFA Europa League. "I would like to thank the entire club staff and fans. Of course, I wanted to continue the work I started, but the results were not satisfactory for both me and the club," said G. Neville. The 53-year-old football specialist from Spain, Pako Ayestaran, will take over the duties of the head coach at least until the end of the season. At the moment, the Valencia club is in the 14th position in the Spanish 'Primera' championship with 34 points."
