Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Gary Neville to be a success at Valencia.
Neville was named manager of the La Liga side on Wednesday where he will join brother Phil, who was one of two interim bosses in position after Nuno stepped down from his role last week.
Ferguson has had his say on the appointment and he was unequivocal in his support for his former player.
"Gary has many attributes that suggest he will be successful in management. His leadership skills are strong, he's honest and he's hard working," Ferguson told Sky Sports News HQ.
"He is the type of character who is not afraid of making big decisions, which is a vital skill when leading. I think he'll do well and I wish him, and his brother Phil, good luck."
Former Sky Sports expert Neville will be unveiled to the media on Thursday afternoon (3pm, UK time), with his first match in charge coming against Lyon in the Champions League on Wednesday.
