Look at Gary Neville, for example. When you listen to him talking football you think, ‘Wow, this guy knows his stuff’. But then he goes into coaching and it’s a complete disaster."

I wish Chris Sutton would take up a managerial post.....
What a plonker

Gary Neville should not have taken the job. Valencia were a mess and it took a few coaches before it was all sorted out. It doesn't help that he has never played in Spain, didn't speak the language and the whole set up was made to fail.
Petr Cech's point has little merit. Managing, being the head coach, coaching, they're all different.

I don't get what people are disagreeing with. Neville does know his stuff and his time at Valencia was a disaster.

Well Cech is insinuating that if he looks like "he knows his stuff" but that doesn't translate into good management, he doesn't actually "know his stuff".

This sounds very unlike Cech
I'm surprised if true. At the least id expect it not to be worded as is

I think people need to read the entire of his comments. The point he’s making is that even if you’re assumed to (or do) know a lot about football, it doesn’t mean that translates into being good at coaching.

Club management/coaching is an entirely different role to match analysis and commentary.
Working in the broadcast/print/streamed media does not involve the whim and witlessness of club directors for a start.
Neville knows football betterthan most - certainly more than most on here - but his management career (so far) was most certainly shackled by poor direction.
Bit like United have been for about a decade.

Exactly. Some people go out of their way to be offended.
