'''Philip John Neville''' (born 21 January 1977) is an English [[association football|football]] manager and former player who is the current head coach of [[Major League Soccer]] club [[Portland Timbers]]. He is also the co-owner of [[Salford City F.C.|Salford City]], along with several of his former [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] teammates.

After ten years as a professional with Manchester United, during which time he won six [[Premier League]] titles, three [[FA Cup]]s, three [[FA Charity Shield]]s, the [[Intercontinental Cup (1960–2004)|Intercontinental Cup]] and the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]], he joined [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] in 2005, where he spent the final eight years of his playing career. Neville also played for [[England national football team|England]] 59 times between 1996 and 2007, representing the nation at three [[UEFA European Championship|European Championships]]. He could play in [[defender (association football)|defence]] or [[midfielder|midfield]]; due to this versatility, he operated in a number of different positions throughout his career, but was most often used as a [[Defender (association football)#Full-back|left-back]].

After earning his UEFA B Coaching Licence, Neville began his coaching career in 2012, filling in for [[Stuart Pearce]] with the [[England national under-21 football team|England under-21s]]. He then worked as a coach at Manchester United, and as assistant manager to his brother [[Gary Neville|Gary]] at [[Valencia CF|Valencia]] in [[La Liga]]. On 23 January 2018, Neville was appointed head coach of the [[England women's national football team|England women's team]].<ref name="auto">{{cite web |url=http://www.thefa.com/news/2018/jan/23/fa-appoint-phil-neville-england-women-head-coach-230118 |title=Neville to lead Lionesses |publisher=The Football Association |date=23 January 2018 |access-date=24 January 2018}}</ref> He led the "Lionesses" to fourth place at the [[2019 FIFA Women's World Cup]].

==Club career==
===Manchester United===
[[File:Philnev.JPG|thumb|Neville in action at [[Old Trafford]] in March 2004]]
Born in [[Bury, Greater Manchester]], Neville attended [[Elton High School]], where he captained the football team for five years.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/phil-neville-surprises-youngsters-pops-9086956|title=Phil Neville surprises youngsters as he pops into school to play five-a-side|first=Chris|last=Slater|date=21 April 2015|work=[[Manchester Evening News]]|access-date=7 January 2020}}</ref> Along with brother [[Gary Neville|Gary]], he joined the [[Manchester United F.C. Reserves and Academy|Manchester United Academy]], signing associate schoolboy forms in September 1990. In the 1992–93 season, he played 23 times for the club's junior teams, including four times in the FA Youth Cup as the club attempted to defend the title Gary had won the previous season; Neville appeared alongside his brother in the second leg of the 1993 Youth Cup final, but they were unable to overturn a 2–0 deficit from the first leg at [[Old Trafford]], and Leeds won 4–1 on aggregate. In July 1993, Neville signed a trainee contract with the club, and in October that year he made his debut for the reserve team, coming on for [[Darren Ferguson]] in a 2–0 win over Everton in [[Central League (England)|The Central League]]. He went on to make eight appearances for the reserves in the 1993–94 season, as well as a further 31 for the junior teams, culminating in him winning the [[Jimmy Murphy Player of the Year Award]] in May 1994, followed by his first professional contract in June.

Neville made his senior debut for Manchester United on 28 January 1995 in a 5–2 win at home to [[Wrexham A.F.C.|Wrexham]] in the fourth round of the [[1994–95 FA Cup]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Phillip John Neville |url=https://www.mufcinfo.com/manupag/a-z_player_archive/a-z_player_archive_pages/neville_phillip.html |website=mufcinfo.com |access-date=4 November 2022 }}</ref> His league debut came two weeks later, when he started against [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] in the [[Manchester derby]] at [[Maine Road]]. He made one more first-team appearance in 1994–95, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 win at home to [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]]. The following week, he captained United in both legs of the Youth Cup final against [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]]; after a 2–1 loss at [[White Hart Lane]] and a 1–0 win at [[Old Trafford]], the tie came down to penalties; Neville missed his kick, but two misses from Spurs meant United won the shoot-out 4–3 to claim their second Youth Cup title in four seasons.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/fa-youth-cup-final-memories-shared-by-man-utd-club-journalists-11-may-2022 | title=FA Youth Cup: Memories of previous finals }}</ref>

Neville's graduation and eventual establishment in the first-team meant he became known as one of "[[Fergie's Fledglings]]".<ref>{{cite news |first=Tom |last=Horan |title=The Class of 92: trebles all round |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2013/dec/03/class-92-trebles-round-manchester-united-alex-ferguson |newspaper=The Guardian |location=London |date=3 December 2013 |access-date=25 July 2018 }}</ref> On 19 August 1995, in the first game of the following season, he was substituted at half-time in a 3–1 loss at [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]]; the match is remembered for pundit [[Alan Hansen]]'s "You can't win anything with kids" comment on Manchester United, who went on to win the [[Double (association football)|double]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Luckhurst |first1=Samuel |title=Aston Villa 3-1 Manchester United: Alan Hansen's finest hour 20 years on |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-3-1-manchester-9879141 |access-date=18 January 2021 |work=Manchester Evening News |date=19 August 2015}}</ref> He did not play at left-back frequently due to the presence of [[Denis Irwin]]; for some time, he played at right-back while his brother played in central defence, and in the [[1996 FA Cup Final]] victory against [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] he played this position while Gary was an unused substitute.<ref>{{cite news |last1=O'Neill |first1=Connor |title=Phil Neville recalls the worst moment of his Manchester United career vs Liverpool FC |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-utd-news-phil-neville-18069116 |access-date=18 January 2021 |work=Manchester Evening News |date=9 April 2020}}</ref> In the crucial league game against [[Newcastle United]] at [[St James' Park]] in March 1996 it was from Neville's cross that [[Eric Cantona]] scored the winning goal; a result which proved pivotal in the title race.<ref>{{cite news

While at Manchester United, he was booked many times, such as in the [[2002–03 Manchester United F.C. season|2002–03 season]] when he received 13 yellow cards, despite only starting 35 competitive games.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.soccer-stats.com/teams/player_roll_call.asp?divno=1&code=mu&asid=02 |title=Manchester United – Player Roll Call 2002–2003 |website=soccer-stats.com |publisher=E.S.A.

====Captaincy====
Neville's attitude, [[work rate]] and willingness to play anywhere saw him become one of manager David Moyes' favourites. On 8 August 2006, Neville was announced as [[Captain (association football)#Vice-captain|vice-captain]] to [[David Weir (Scottish footballer)|David Weir]], and – on Weir's departure to [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] in January 2007 – he became the club [[captain (association football)|captain]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-fcs-phil-neville-tips-3399267 |title=Everton FC's Phil Neville tips Mikel Arteta to succeed him as captain |newspaper=The Liverpool Echo |first=James |last=Pearce |date=19 August 2010 |access-date=25 July 2018}}</ref> In the Manchester United–Everton match on 29 November 2006, Phil and his brother Gary became the first siblings to captain their respective clubs against each other in the Premier League.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/nov/30/match.sport4 |title=Ferguson gamble pays off on non-vintage night |newspaper=The Guardian |first=Daniel |last=Taylor |date=30 November 2006 |access-date=13 December 2015 |location=London}}</ref>

Neville commented in the press about the first ever [[Red card (sports)|red cards]] of his long career (he never received any playing for Manchester United), claiming that he would perhaps not have been booked in a game against [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]] if he had been playing for United. However, he finished with more cards than any other Premier League player in 2005–06 (including another red soon after his first).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/playerdiscipline?league=eng.1&year=2005&cc=3888 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416001148/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/playerdiscipline?league=eng.1&year=2005&cc=3888 |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 April 2009 |title=Premier League Player Discipline – 2005/06 |website=[[ESPN]] |access-date=18 June 2014}}</ref> Neville scored his first goal for Everton in a 3–0 Premier League victory against [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] on 30 December 2006.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/6205673.stm |title=Everton 3–0 Newcastle United |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 December 2006 |access-date=25 July 2018}}</ref>

==Style of play==
Neville was primarily known for his work-rate and versatility as a footballer, and was capable of playing in several defensive and midfield positions; he was usually deployed as either a full-back or [[Defender (association football)#Wing-back|wing-back]], and was capable of playing on the left side, as well as the right, despite being naturally right-footed; he was even able to play as a [[Midfielder#Central midfielder|central midfielder]]. Although he was not the most spectacular or offensive-minded defender, and was occasionally criticised by pundits for his lack of pace, as well as his limited passing ability and skill on the ball, he was known to be a consistent player from a defensive standpoint, who also stood out for his leadership qualities. However, he also drew criticism in the media for his uncompromising nature and tendency to pick up cards. In 2010, Varun Mathure of ''[[Bleacher Report]]'' described him as one of the most underrated players in the Premier League.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2000/jun/10/euro2000.sport6 |title=Neville plans to send Figo backwards |work=The Guardian |last1=Thorpe |first1=Martin |date=10 June 2000 |access-date=23 October 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Mathure |first1=Varun |title=Why Phil Neville is the Most Underrated Player in the English Premier League |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/322882-phil-neville-the-most-under-rated-player-in-the-premier-league |publisher=Bleacher Report |access-date=23 October 2021 |date=9 January 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1545732-the-value-of-veteran-phil-neville-for-european-contenders-everton |title=The Value of Veteran Phil Neville for European Contenders Everton |publisher=Bleacher Report |last1=Canever |first1=Brian |date=28 February 2013 |access-date=24 October 2021 }}</ref>

Neville made his England managerial debut at the [[2018 SheBelieves Cup]], an annual invitational tournament held in the United States.

Neville was employed by [[BBC One]] as a commentator and pundit during the [[2014 FIFA World Cup]]. His commentary of the England–Italy match on 14 June attracted 445 complaints for his "lack of emotion and 'monotone style'".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-27867939 |title=Phil Neville World Cup commentary draws complaints |publisher=BBC News |date=16 June 2014}}</ref> He reflected on this in an online article by stating: "I played it back the next day and it did not sound like it was me commentating.

The BBC received further complaints for Neville's comments in January 2015, after [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]]'s [[Tomáš Rosický]] played a pass while looking in another direction; Neville said that if he were playing against a player doing that in training, he would deliberately injure that player. He admitted making an unacceptable comment, while the BBC stated that the tone of discussion was light-hearted enough to suggest Neville was not endorsing violence.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/phil-neville-and-his-fellow-match-of-the-day-pundits-given-warning-by-the-bbc-after-smash-them-comment-10008559.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220526/https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/phil-neville-and-his-fellow-match-of-the-day-pundits-given-warning-by-the-bbc-after-smash-them-comment-10008559.html |archive-date=26 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |title=Phil Neville and his fellow Match of the Day pundits given warning by the BBC after 'smash them' comment |newspaper=The Independent |first=Simon |last=Rice |date=28 January 2015 |access-date=29 January 2015 |location=London}}</ref>
