Sol Campbell has the ambition to work as a trainer in professional football, but Oxford United recently refused to hire the former defender of Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, among others. Campbell does not understand anything about the rejection of the League One club and does not hide his anger about the course of events.
I applied for the job, but they didn’t accept me “, says the former stopper, quoted by the Oxford Mail, from shore,” Maybe it was a lack of experience? Something like:’ blast, blow….’ Experience? How can I gain experience if I need a job to gain experience? I do not want to sink too deeply and accept a job at too low a level.
That I work under someone and then think to myself: what am I doing here? I just want to manage a club myself. I am confident. It’s not rocket science…. It is just running a football club. It is certainly even easier at that level. If you are intelligent enough and a fast apprentice, you know what the team needs within two or three games.
Where the team has to work on the training to survive, to get better, to get the playoffs or even to become champion,”continues the Englishman,” I’m intelligent enough. I just can’t believe some people…. I am one of the greatest geniuses in football and I am being put aside because of a lack of experience. Maybe also because I just say what I think.
Do you understand the frustration of Sol Campbell?
