Andy Cole: Former Man Utd & Newcastle striker joins Sol Campbell on the coaching staff at League Two side Macclesfield Town


Former Manchester United and Newcastle striker Andy Cole has joined up with Sol Campbell on the high-profile coaching staff at Sky Bet League Two side Macclesfield.

Cole has joined former Arsenal and Tottenham defender Campbell's staff on a part-time basis.

The 47-year-old enjoyed an impressive 19-year playing career, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League during a six-year spell at Old Trafford.

He is the third highest goalscorer in Premier League history with 187 goals.

Cole, who won 15 England caps, was a team-mate of Campbell's at Portsmouth in the 2006-07 season.

Former England defender Campbell took over as Macclesfield manager in November and has helped lift the team off the foot of the table. They lie 23rd in the standings, three points from safety, ahead of Saturday's match at home to Oldham.
