Hodgson appoints Gary Neville to England coaching staff

Gary Neville has signed a four-year coaching contract with the Football Association.

The former Manchester United and England full-back will serve as a coach under new manager Roy Hodgson at this summer's European Championships in Poland and Ukraine.

Since retiring from football at the end of the 2010-2011 season, Neville won acclaim as a Sky Sports pundit.

Neville said: "Roy asking me to be a part of his staff and to work with the national team is not only an honour but a very special moment for me.

"I had absolutely no hesitation in accepting this role and I am relishing the opportunity to work alongside Roy and the team at the Euros and through to the next two tournaments."
