Former Manchester United, Everton and England defender Phil Neville has ended his 18-year playing career.
.
Neville, 36, announced in April that he would leave Everton this summer and now hopes to coach and work in the media following 505 top-flight appearances.
.
"In my heart, I knew that I wouldn't be playing again - at any level. I just wanted to drift away," he said. Neville has also revealed he may be working as a BBC pundit at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
.
He has been working as a coach with England at their unsuccessful European Under-21 Championship campaign in Israel.

"If you had asked me two months ago, I thought I'd do a year with BBC or in the media," he said.
He played very well for Manchester United I must confess. Their defensive skillz is just wonderful and fantastic.
