The former Manchester United defender moved to the La Liga club last summer to become then manager Nuno Espirito Santos right-hand man, before the latter was sacked and replaced by Phils brother Gary.However, despite Gary Neville also leaving Los Che less than four months after joining the Spaniards, his younger brother remained to assist interim boss Pako Ayestaran. And after helping to guide Valencia to a 12th-place finish in the table, the Englishman says he is keen to stay in his role next season.We are still in training until Friday and Pakos contract finishes on May 30, but no decision has yet been made by the club, Neville told Sky Sports.After what we have been through this season, the club is taking its time. Phil Neville says he expects to find out if he still has a job as Valencia assistant coach within the next week They have got to find the right man - whether that is Pako or somebody else - but a new manager brings in his own staff, so my position will not be found out for another week.Neville claimed his older brother left Valencia in good shape structuurally after his brief stint at the helm.ddddddddddddThe one-time England international was also realistic enough though to understand why Gary had to be replaced by Ayestaran after a series of disappointing league results.When Gary came he knew a lot about the club anyway, said Neville.

But the thing with football is its all about results and we just could not get the results that meant he could continue until the end of the season.It was always going to be for the short term, but it was just shorter than the short-term level it was going to be until the end of the season.
