Cesare Prandelli resigns from Valencia post after just 10 games proving that Gary Neville was not the problem

Six-time La Liga winners are currently 18th in La Liga with a serious divide between supporters and owner

GARY NEVILLE may take some comfort knowing that experienced manager Cesare Prandelli has resigned from Valencia after just ten matches.

Neville was handed his first managerial job at the troubled Spanish side but lasted less than four months at the Mestalla Stadium.

Prandelli, 59, who has managed teams such as Italy,  Roma and Parma, lasted just 10 matches with the club before handing in his resignation according to Cadena SER.

He leaves Valencia lying 17th place in La Liga, level on points with Sporting who are in the drop zone.

The six-time La Liga winners have picked up just 12 points from their opening 15 matches and face the unimaginable threat of relegation to the second tier.

It is believed that Prandelli was fed up with owner Peter Lim who is causing a massive rift amongst the supporters.

In November a section of supporters made their feelings known towards Lim with chants telling the owner to leave the club.

Lim's daughter, Kim Lim, then hit back at the fans writing on social media: "Ask us to leave as much but the fact is we still own the club so...yeah haha. Deal with it and move on.

"I think some of the Valencia CF fans can be quite crazy and stupid to think they can control or have any say over my actions...

"If you can understand English I already said I am coming to Valencia to support during my Euro trip. So stop writing stupid comments."
