EVERTON manager Roberto Martinez wants “club icon” Phil Neville to take a leading coaching role at Goodison Park following his retirement as a player.
The 36-year-old announced on Saturday that he is hanging up his boots and did not extend his Everton contract, which expired at the end of last season.
Martinez said: “Phil Neville is an Everton icon and I think he can bring a lot into his time as a coach. I really want to speak with him and see how he feels about his future.”
