Gary Neville has no plans to return to coaching in the next five years after a disastrous stint at Valencia... and he may never do so again
* Ex-Manchester United star Gary Neville will not be coaching again soon
* He admits that he would struggle to fit it in, with so many plates spinning
* The 41-year-old has immersed himself in various projects since retiring
* Neville: 'It's my obligation to deliver Salford City to the Football League'
* His other commitments include Hotel Football and his St Michael's project
Gary Neville has ruled out a return to coaching over the next five years, citing other commitments, and says it is likely that he will never go back into it.
The former Manchester United right back spent four months in La Liga last season, but was shown the door by Valencia after picking up just three wins from 16 league games, before enduring a miserable spell as England assistant at Euro 2016.
Since retiring from playing, the 41-year-old has immersed himself in various projects, including a part-ownership in non-League club Salford City.
Neville has told Guillem Balague that he would struggle to see coaching in his plans
And speaking to Sky Sports' Guillem Balague, Neville has said that he would struggle to see coaching in his plans, with so many plates spinning.
'I always say "never say never" because my love for football is too great, but I genuinely believe it will be very difficult for me to go back into coaching because of my commitment now to so many different things,' Bury-born Neville said.
'And I've immersed myself in it and I've committed to other partners, other investors.
'It's my obligation to deliver Salford City to the Football League. It's my obligation to roll out Hotel Football internationally.
'It's my obligation to deliver high-end restaurants with Michael O'Hare, who's going to sign up with us in the next month.
'It's my obligation to deliver St Michael's in the next four years, the best development, I believe, in Manchester,' he added.

'I can't now go back into coaching in the short term in the next five years - and the reality of it is I don't want to. I don't want to.
'It could be that I'm no longer ever a coach in football but that's not a loss. Some people might think it is, but, generally, the fact of the matter is it's not a loss to me.'
Neville spent four years working under Roy Hodgson as an England coach, and went on to admit that football clubs can be too quick to judge failure.
'The FA and Roy Hodgson invested in me for four years and I'm the most experienced I've ever been, yet you get chucked overboard,' he continued.
'The reality is the investment has to come through defeat and victory. The pathway for young coaches cannot just be based on a run of defeats or a run of victories, otherwise you are forever changing.
'I heard [FA chief executive] Martin Glenn say ex-players go into punditry for the money. It's not that simple. It's an excuse, but don't tell me the problem, tell me the solution.
'Holland have the solution. Ajax have the solution. Barcelona have the solution. There are models out there. They create pathways and they keep you on the pathway.'
