Ince: 'Sol deserves higher-level job'

Sol Campbell was appointed the new Macclesfield Town manager on Tuesday evening. 

He signed an 18-month deal with the club, who are currently bottom of League Two, seven points from safety. 

Ince, who also started his coaching career at Macclesfield in 2006 before working for Milton Keynes Dons and Blackburn, is hopeful that the former England defender can impress clubs higher up the football league ladder.

"It is a shame because when you look at what he has done in his football career, he is a legend," Ince told 'Sky Sports'.

"It is sad that someone like Sol has had to go to that level to get a job.

"When you look at the black managers that we have had, most of them have been very successful. It is not that we can't do the job but obviously some owners think we can't.

"It is going to be a tough job for Sol but you have got to get in somewhere. Hopefully he will do well and then move up the ladder.

"The most nervous thing is having to inspire a team to get them out of trouble. I would advise him to take someone with him that knows the league.

"The lads will be buzzing once they see Sol there. He has got a good football brain, who knows in years to come he might be managing Tottenham."
