Phil Neville says that Valencia have "one of the best young teams in European football", following his appointment as the La Liga club's assistant manager.

New Valencia assistant manager Phil Neville has said that he is looking forward to his time at the club.

The 38-year-old took over the role as Nuno's assistant at the La Liga club last month, following the departure of Ian Cathro.

"I finished my football career and I wanted a big challenge," he told La Liga TV.

"I joined Manchester United as a coach and I left Manchester United as a coach, I was looking for an even bigger challenge and I've always wanted to work abroad and I've come to Spain – it's probably the best league in the world.

"In England, everybody respects La Liga. I'm joining a club that is improving, is hungry, is young and it's got one of the best young managers in European football (Nuno) and it's got one of the best young teams in European football, so it just seemed like the perfect fit."

Neville previously worked as a first-team coach at Manchester United under David Moyes.
