Sol Campbell: I'm more respected in Europe than England!

Arsenal great Sol Campbell dreams of coaching in England, but he finds it difficult to explain why he hasn't received an opportunity yet.

The two-time Premier League winner, who took up the job of assistant manager with Trinidad & Tobago last month, thinks that he is more respected in Europe than in his home nation.

"I'm more respected in Europe than my own country and I don't why that is," said Campbell.

"For some reason, I never get a mention when a job comes up. I don't know why that is as I'm a winner. Just take a look at my record.

"I've played for England, won the Premier League and played in every position besides goalkeeper.

"I've been through everything as a player and know how to handle modern-day players. Helping players progress and better themselves is just up my street.

"But I still see the same names banded about, going from job to job after being sacked elsewhere. You have to laugh sometimes."
