Harry Redknapp offers to come out of retirement aged 76 and make stunning Premier League return

HARRY REDKNAPP has offered to come out of retirement and manage Tottenham.

Spurs are currently without a permanent boss since sacking Antonio Conte in March.

Cristian Stellini had been placed in charge while the club looks for a new manager.

However, the Italian coach has not been able to turn the club's form around.

With Stellini at the helm, Spurs have only won one of four games and suffered morale-crushing defeats to Bournemouth and Newcastle.

There are now doubts over his future at the club following the embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle - with reports that he was hauled in for showdown talks.

This has led to Redknapp, 76, declaring his interest in taking the role on a temporary basis.

He told : "It is very unlikely they come knocking, I will be honest with you.

"But if they did then, of course, I would take it.

"But I am not sitting here waiting for a phone call that is for sure, it is disappointing to see how it has turned out."

Redknapp managed Spurs between 2008-2012 and famously guided them to the Champions League.

He won 98 of his 198 games in charge of the club during a decent spell.

However, he has not managed since retiring from football following a 13-game spell in charge of Birmingham City in 2017.

A more obvious candidate if Spurs are to appoint another interim manager is Ryan Mason.

The former player has taken charge of the side before, seeing the club to the end of the season after Jose Mourinho was fired.
