Phil Neville keen on Everton job

Everton player Phil Neville has hinted that he is ready to take up David Moyes’ job as Everton manager after the latter takes charge of Manchester United next season.

The 36-year-old Everton captain will join the England Under-21 coaching staff for the European Championship finals in Israel in June, and is linked with coaching roles at Manchester United and Stoke City too.

When asked about the Everton job, Neville said: “It would be a really good job to get. I know there are players who have gone into jobs and failed but I just think I have prepared. I have prepared for the last five seasons and I have got some really nice decisions to make. I am prepared for every eventuality.

“I’ve not reached the end of my career and thought: ‘I know, I’ll be a manager’. I have had a lot of experience, studying coaching practices. I’ve got files on every training session from the last three seasons. I have been away with the Under-21s. I’m half-prepared for what I am going in to.”

Neville is currently working to get a UEFA pro licence that is required to be a Premier League manager and considers Moyes’ as his mentor.
