New Valencia coach Gary Neville has taken a step towards endearing himself to the club's fans by allowing supporters to watch his first full training session in charge. Neville was appointed on Wednesday, but watched on from the stands at the weekend as Valencia salvaged a 1-1 draw against European champions Barcelona under the caretaker charge of Voro and Gary's brother Phil Neville.
Many clubs have scaled back the practice of open training sessions in recent seasons seeking greater privacy to prepare for games. Indeed, Valencia hadn't had an open training session for nearly a year and the news was warmly welcomed by fans on social media.
