Troubled Valencia sack unpopular coach Neville

 Valencia have sacked unpopular coach Gary Neville, the
troubled Spanish giants said Wednesday.
Neville, 41, was only in charge for four months, during which his
team won only three out of 16 league games and dropped from ninth to
14th in the table, just above the relegation zone.
He has spent the past six days with the England squad for friendly
games with Germany and the Netherlands, in his role as assistant to
manager Roy Hodgson.
Neville said he wanted to stay at Valencia, but results had "not been
to my standards or those required by this club - and we are in a
results business."
Many Valencia fans have been demanding Neville's departure since a
humiliating 7-0 meltdown at Barcelona in the Spanish Cup in February.
He has been replaced with Pako Ayestaran, 53, who was one of
Neville's assistants and worked with Rafa Benitez at Valencia during
their 2001 to 2004 glory days, then afterwards at Liverpool.
