Gary Neville lands new job less than 24 hours before new Premier League season begins

Gary Neville has landed a new job less than 24 hours before the Premier League resumes.

The action gets back under way on Friday night, with Neville’s club former Manchester United hosting Fulham at Old Trafford on Sky Sports.

Neville will be a lead co-commentator and pundit for Sky once again this season but the Daily Mail say the former United skipper will also be working for another broadcaster.

He will be providing punditry for American channel NBC Sports as a regular contributor.

The 49-year-old will make his debut on Friday for the first game, joining the ‘Premier League Live’ show and then continuing to appear on Sundays.

He will link up with former United teammate Tim Howard, who he played alongside on 52 occasions.

Neville was part of ITV’s coverage of Euro 2024 throughout the summer and also hosts the popular Sky Bet Stick to Football podcast with guests Ian Wright, Roy Keane, Jill Scott and Jamie Carragher.

The eight-time Premier League winner joined Sky ahead of the 2011/12 season after retiring from football and is one of their most respected voices

He has been involved in so many memorable moments both in the studio and in the gantry,

But during his spell at Sky, Neville has always lived by a golden rule he implemented himself – refusing to call for a manager to be sacked.

Speaking on Stick to Football, he said: “It was a rule when I came into Sky, for myself, about 13 years ago – I said I would never ever [call for a manager to be sacked]. I remember the manager at Blackburn – Steve Kean – I’ve never seen a manager have as tough a time, for a longer period – than Steve.

“It was getting painful in the end where you’re thinking, ‘Actually, he probably wants to be sacked’, but you never say, ‘Sack him, put him out of his misery’.

“Some do and feel comfortable with it, but I’ve never said it and I’m quite proud of that.”
