The Everton skipper Phil Neville has been given the opportunity to be part of the coaching team for the England Under 21's during the summer tournament in Israel in June.
Phil said:"I had a little taste of this against Belgium and it was probably the best three days I have had - it was a real eye-opener.
"Those three days told me that coaching is what I really want to do. The thing I noticed about the Under-21s is that there is a great spirit amongst the staff and the players, and there is a real togetherness and determination that they want to win this tournament.
"If I can play a small part and learn from it then it will be great. In tournament football you learn so much. You learn how to handle players in a different environment and how to get the best out of players.
Under-21s Manager Stuart Pearce said: "Phil is treading a path towards building up his coaching credentials and has demonstrated his commitment to this by taking time out of his own summer to join us in Israel,"
"For The FA it's important to encourage young coaches to take such opportunities and we're pleased that Phil will be with us during the tournament.
"Not only is it a good opportunity for Phil to learn from our environment, but it is also a chance for the young players to work with Phil. Everyone benefits from this arrangement."
