Sol Campbell arrives at Macclesfield for talks over manager’s job
Written by News on 27/11/2018
Sol Campbell has arrived at Sky Bet League Two side Macclesfield for talks about their managerial vacancy.
Campbell was linked with the Oxford United job before Karl Robinson was appointed in March and was also interviewed for managerial jobs at Oldham and Grimsby earlier this year.
The 44-year-old enjoyed an illustrious playing career with the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal and Portsmouth and also represented England at three World Cups, winning 73 international caps before retiring in 2012.
Campbell has recently been working with the England U21 squad and their manager Aidy Boothroyd as part of the Football Association’s ‘In Pursuit of Progress’ initiative, which offers BAME coaches experience working with England teams.
Macclesfield, who returned to the Football League last season, are bottom of League Two and have won just two league games all season, although the second of those came in a 1-0 win over Yeovil at Moss Rose on Saturday.
The Silkmen have been without a manager since Mark Yates was sacked on October 8.
