Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Adam Lallana couldn’t help but mock Gary Neville for his disastrous stint in management as he reflected on his own brief stint as a coach.
The former Liverpool and England international is still playing, but stepped down as first team coach to assist Seagulls manager Andrew Crofts following Graham Potter’s departure to Chelsea in September.
The 34-year-old didn’t really get a chance to coach the Seagulls from the sidelines as their game against Bournemouth was postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Roberto De Zerbi was then quickly appointed as Potter’s permanent replacement – meaning Lallana could focus on his playing career again.
However, the former Southampton midfielder was questioned by pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher about coaching his team-mates ahead of their 2-0 defeat to Brentford in the Premier League.
Lallana opened up with the extra demands of his managerial role – then turned an amusing dig at the former Manchester United defender.
Gary Neville took charge of Valencia for four months between 2015 and 2016
Neville, 47, took charge of Valencia for four months between 2015 and 2016, winning just three of his 16 La Liga games and failing to keep a first-class clean sheet before being sacked.
“A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to dip my toes in it. It’s something I’ve enjoyed immensely,” Lallana told Sky Sports before beckoning Neville.
‘It’s different, more hours and you don’t understand how much work goes into it – you’ve discovered that, of course.
“I was very lucky to have that opportunity. I probably have another year or two in me [as a player]but it [management] is something I think I’ll get into.’

Former Liverpool defender and now TV pundit Jamie Carragher chimed in: ‘Just don’t go to Valencia, stay here!’
Lallana was named on the bench for Brighton’s trip to the Gtech Community Stadium, having made five Premier League appearances this season.
However, the Seagulls suffered a 2-0 loss to Brentford thanks to a brace from in-form striker Ivan Toney.
