​Macclesfield boss Campbell: Why I hired Cole…

Macclesfield boss Sol Campbell has spoken about his reasons for hiring Andy Cole.

The former Manchester United striker has been a part of the backroom staff at the League Two strugglers.

He has focused on helping the strikers with their movement and finishing technique. And Campbell believes Cole has a lot to offer.

"Someone like him coming in and doing the forward work and having a microscope over certain players is what it's all about, the detail," Campbell told Sky Sports News.

"The devil is in the detail and the players need that. I think at any level you need that. He's done it at the highest level and he's trying to pass on his knowledge."
