Gary Neville is joining popular BBC show ‘The Dragons Den’ in their new season next year, as the Manchester United legend’s career takes yet another surprising twist.
Neville is no stranger to a career change, as the former England and United player has also managed Valencia and enjoyed time on Sky Sports as a pundit.
The 48-year-old has also built a portfolio of businesses since retiring, including a hotel and other property developments.
Neville will join the show as a dragon alongside fashion and retail entrepreneur Emma Grede, in a career move that he said ‘excites’ him.
“I am excited to join the Dragons, and to meet the entrepreneurs brave enough to face us in the Den.

“I hope my personal journey shows that you can take the experiences you’ve had in one part of your career and use them to do something entirely different and make it a success.
“Business is all about managing people and managing yourself and I’m looking forward to sharing my experience to help the entrepreneurs we’ll meet in the Den reach their potential.”
Regular viewers of The Dragons Den will be glad to hear that no dragons are being replaced on the show, as the usual suspects will make a return for next year’s new season.
