The Three Lions' latest drab performance saw Southgate jeered by parts of the travelling England crowd as well as having two plastic beer cups thrown at him.

Neville's ill-fated spell at Valencia saw him take charge of 28 matches, winning 10, drawing seven and losing 11.

Valencia dropped from eighth to 14th before he was dismissed - with the side sitting just six points above the relegation zone.
