Gary Neville e has hit out at a claim that his appointment was a PR stunt orchestrated by club owner Peter Lim and agent Jorge Mendes, describing it as "nonsense" and "ludicrous."
Former Manchester United defender Neville was a surprise choice to take over when Nuno was fired in November amid discontent from some fans about Lim's running of the club and the influence of Mendes.
El Pais reporter Diego Torres claimed Lim had asked Mendes to find a new coach who was not represented by his agency and former Manchester United chief and Chelsea executive Peter Kenyon acted as a go-between before Neville, who had been coaching for England, was appointed.
