Former England defender Gary Neville has been sacked as first-team coach of Valencia after less than four months in the job. Neville will be replaced until the end of the season by Pako Ayestaran, who was assistant coach of Valencia from 2001 to 2004. "After careful consideration, the club have decided to make a change with the best interests of Valencia CF moving forward this season," the La Liga club said in a statement on its website.
