Sol Campbell to spend time with former Arsenal team-mate Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace as he looks for return to management after leaving Southend last year via mutual consent

Sol Campbell has revealed he will spend time with former Arsenal team-mate Patrick Vieira at Crystal Palace as he looks to get back into management.

The 47-year-old former England international has been out of work since leaving Southend in June 2020 but is keen to keep learning until another chance comes along.

The former centre-back left Southend by 'mutual consent' following the club's relegation to League Two after the 2019-20 League One season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Campbell has spoken extensively in the past about how tough he has found it to find work after spells in difficult circumstances at Roots Hall and before that Macclesfield.
