Sol Campbell on verge of taking over struggling League One side

Campbell who won the Premier League x FA Cup double with Arsenal in 2002 and was part of the famous ‘Invincibles’ side left Macclesfied after just eight months in charge.

The ex-defender’s departure followed the club’s miraculous survival from League Two relegation.

Sky Sports claims that the former England international is now in line to fill the vacant position at Roots Hall.

The ex-Arsenal defender reignited talks with Blues after Henrik Larsson’s proposed switch to Roots Hall fell through due to Tommy Johnson, the proposed head of operations, pulling out the last minute.
