Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, is set to make a significant impact on the popular BBC show, Dragons' Den. This move comes after he signed an interim deal to join the hit programme as a guest investor for its 21st series.
Neville's transition from being a celebrated footballer to becoming an astute business tycoon has been nothing short of remarkable. His successful venture into property investment has built him a formidable business empire that continues to grow.
The news of Neville joining Dragons' Den was first revealed in October when it was announced that he would be linking up with the other dragons as a guest investor for the 21st series.
Neville had 'many options' to consider
This interim deal marks another milestone in Neville's diverse career and fans are eager to see how this new chapter unfolds.
Sky Sports pundit, Gary Neville, said:
“I’m absolutely delighted to join the Dragons’ Den, even if it’s only for a very short period on an interim contract. I’m used to being an interim coach. I’m going to bring character, personality, drive, determination, hard work, all the things you’d want in a team player."
“The thing that made me sign for Dragons’ Den was that, look, I had so many options on the table. I had offers from the US, offers from Asia, but I decided to stay at home where my roots are and sign. To see my picture up on the wall in that hall of fame is one of the great moments in my career. Walking through those lift doors is going to be like walking out at Old Trafford as a 19-year-old."
“Those lift doors are more famous than the Wembley tunnel. To follow in the footsteps of legends in the game like the Bannatynes of this world, the Lavanis, is something that I could never have imagined. This team that I’m joining, absolutely massive capabilities. Entrepreneurial skills, the flash centre forward, you can guess who that is."
The addition of the Manchester United legend to Dragon’s Den promises an exciting blend of sports charisma and business acumen on screen.
As fans eagerly await this new journey, one thing is certain - whether on the pitch or in front of cameras pitching investments - Gary Neville never fails to make an impact!
Whether he will be a successful investor on Dragons' Den remains to be seen.
