Gary Neville has shed light on the reasons behind his frequent clashes with fellow Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, explaining that it's their intense personalities rather than club rivalries that cause friction. Speaking on The Overlap, Neville admitted he would least want to share a room with Carragher, stating: 'He is constantly ‘on’... intensity meeting intensity doesn’t work.'
Despite their differences, the duo agreed earlier this year that England's national team manager should be English. After Gareth Southgate's resignation, Neville argued that appointing a foreign manager would undermine the development of English coaches, while Carragher emphasised that top football nations like Italy, Spain, and Germany do not hire foreign managers.
However, Thomas Tuchel, a German, was ultimately appointed as England manager last week. Neville expressed reservations, telling Sky Sports News: 'We are damaging ourselves accepting Thomas Tuchel is better than any of the other English coaches. English coaching is one of the least respected big nations in Europe.'
