Ex-England defender Sol Campbell wants Aston Villa manager's job?

Former England defender Sol Campbell says on social media that he wants to be the manager of Aston Villa until the end of the season.

Former England defender Sol Campbell has revealed on social media that he wants to fill the managerial vacancy at Aston Villa.

The Premier League club are searching for a new boss after sacking Paul Lambert earlier this week following a 10-game winless run.

Campbell, who played for Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal in his career, appears to have thrown his hat in the ring after posting a picture of Villa's club crest on Instagram with the message: "Another one bites the dust! Surely i've got a chance! Sol Campbell manager!"

When asked by a follower if he would really want the job, the 40-year-old replied: "To the end of the season. It Would be a challenge that i would want to take head on and win!"

Campbell, who retired from playing football in May 2012, has never held a managerial role at a club before.
