Arsene Wenger believes Valencia coach Gary Neville is paying the price for his inexperience as the pressure continues to mount on the 40-year-old.
Neville took over at Valencia in December after Nuno Espirito Santo decided to leave the club following a poor start to the season.
"I believe that most of the time the reputation of a big player gets you a big club early," the Arsenal manager said.
"You gain a few years. You do not start at Fleetwood [Town]. When you are Pep Guardiola you start at Barcelona.
"When you are not a big name you have first to battle. That is a disadvantage because you do not start as high. But, on the other hand, you learn your job.
"I believe experience plays a big part when you don’t start well. When you have a difficult start you have no credibility through your history because you haven’t shown you can do it.
"So it becomes more difficult when you have a bad start. At some stage, if you have a good team, they always find their way. I think Valencia will get out of it."
