Sarri has said he is not worried about becoming the latest manager to be dismissed by Chelsea bosses.
However, speaking on his Sky Sports podcast, Neville admitted he can’t see Sarri lasting long at Stamford Bridge.
He said: “I don’t think Chelsea will sack him during the season but the warning signs are there which make you think it would be surprising if it went past the summer.
“Not because I want him to leave – I think he’s doing a good job – but looking at it he probably realises the job he is in.

“He’s had a look at the players and sees the players are not doing what he wants them to do.
“They never probably will. The maximum any manager gets out of those Chelsea players is one year. That’s the nature of the club.
“No manager can maintain that job for a long time. No manager has control.
“The manager should have control and be the voice of the football club. But there’s so much politics going on.”

After comfortably beating Huddersfield, Sarri is in a much better mood as he analysed his team’s performance.
He said: ”Today is all positive, we played a full 90 minutes, defended very well, so it was a very good match but we need consistency now, we have to continue to play with the same mentality in all the matches.
"I hope in the future we will not need to lose a match to find the right mentality."
Chelsea are now fourth, three points ahead of Arsenal, and play Manchester City next Sunday.
