Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana could not help but poke fun at Gary Neville and his disastrous stint in management while reflecting on his own brief spell as a coach.
The former Liverpool star, 34, is still playing but stepped up to the role of first-team coach to assist Seagulls caretaker manager Andrew Crofts following Graham Potter's departure for Chelsea in September. Ultimately, Lallana did not have the chance to see the fruits of his labours, as Brighton's Premier League fixture against Bournemouth was postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Roberto De Zerbi was then appointed to the Amex Stadium dugout, meaning Lallana has been able to refocus all his efforts on training and playing. The Southampton icon was quizzed on what it was like to coach his teammates ahead of Brighton's clash with Brentford on Friday night.
