Sol Campbell a future TOTTENHAM manager? Arsenal legend tipped to take charge of Spurs one day
The former Arsenal defender has taken his first steps into professional management by taking charge at Macclesfield Town
Sol Campbell has amazingly been backed to become Tottenham Hotspur boss one day by former England teammate Paul Ince.
The former England defender has taken on his first managerial role in League Two, having being appointed as Macclesfield Town boss on an 18-month contract.
Campbell began his career at Tottenham, before infamously joining fierce rivals Arsenal on a free transfer in 2001.
As a result, the defender was subjected to torrents of abuse from Spurs fans over the years whenever he returned to White Hart Lane.
However, former Liverpool and Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince - Campbell's ex-England teammate - believes the 44-year-old will get a crack at managing his former side in the future.
“Who knows, in years to come he might be managing Tottenham, fingers crossed,” he said on Sky Sports.
“But I wish him all the best."
The Silkmen are currently bottom of League Two, meaning relegation will send them crashing out of the Football League and into the National League.
But Ince believes the struggling side will get a boost from being managed by the Premier League winner.
“The lads will be buzzing, once they see Sol is in there, they’ll be buzzing," he added.
“The training will probably go up 20 per cent and hopefully that goes into the performances on Saturday afternoons.
