Former Tottenham defender would never be accepted.

Sol Campbell looks on during a training session ahead of their international match against Italy at St Georges Park on November 12, 2018 in Burton-upon-Trent, England.

File this one under ‘managerial appointments which will never happen’.

Paul Ince has touted Sol Campbell for an unlikely position at Tottenham in the future.

Campbell was hired for his first managerial role yesterday.

After a few weeks working with England’s under-21s, he was appointed as Macclesfield Town boss.

Campbell has long campaigned for a job in management and this is his opportunity to show what he can do.

Former Manchester United title winner Paul Ince is pleased for the ex-England international.

Ex Arsenal player Sol Campbell looks on during the Emirates FA Cup Final between Arsenal and Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on May 27, 2017 in London, England.

He told SkySports: “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.”

Campbell is a hate figure at Tottenham after quitting the club to join bitter rivals Arsenal.

Lines have been crossed in the past, with George Graham becoming Tottenham boss after leading Arsenal to trophy success.

With Campbell, bridges are already too far burned for this to ever become a plausible option, no matter how good a manager he becomes.
