Former Arsenal & Tottenham Defender Sol Campbell Named New Boss of Macclesfield Town

Macclesfield Town have announced they have agreed a deal with former Spurs, Arsenal and England defender Sol Campbell to become their first team manager, on an 18-month contract.

After a storied nine year spell with Tottenham from 1992 to 2001, Campbell controversially left White Heart Lane for fierce rivals Arsenal, and went on to win two Premier Leagues and two FA Cups in his initial five year spell with the Gunners.

After leaving north London in 2006 for Portsmouth, where he would spend three years, the centre back enjoyed a very short spell with Notts County, before returning to Arsenal in 2010.
