Sol Campbell claims fans need to ditch their 'archaic' attitudes to non-white managers… claiming he's one of many talented bosses missing out on jobs at the biggest clubs

Sol Campbell has urged football fans to change by embracing diversity and welcoming managers of colour.

The former Arsenal, Tottenham and England player says fans have a big influence in choosing which manager a club hires and that may have counted against some non-white candidates.

The 46-year-old has previously said that he thinks he would have captained his country on a more permanent basis if he was white, and believes his managerial opportunities are similarly limited.
