Former Arsenal defender Sol Campbell has been appointed manager of Macclesfield Town - currently, the worst team in the Football League as they sit four points adrift of safety and rock-bottom of League Two.

The 44-year-old won 73 caps for England and Gunners fans won't need to be reminded that he was part of the 2003/04 title-winning 'Invincibles' squad, but the former centre-back will now go from winning honours at the dizzy heights of the Premier League to scrapping for status in the fourth division of English football.

Having spent time with Aidy Boothroyd and the England Under 21s as part of an FA campaign to ensure there is fair representation of BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) coaches in the game, the man who once described himself as "one of the greatest minds in football" has finally secured his first managerial role.

There is no doubt that the Londoner has a mammoth task on his hands, but the Emirates faithful are backing him on Twitter.

Playmaker FC’s Theo Ogden was at the Emirates to witness Arsenal's qualification for the Europa League last 32. Check out his match diary in the video below…
