Harry Redknapp offers Tottenham Hotspur return to replace Igor Tudor
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has suggested he is open to replacing interim boss Igor Tudor to save the struggling Premier League club.
The 79-year-old made the comments while attending the Cheltenham Gold Cup, stating the north London hierarchy know exactly how to contact him.
Spurs currently sit just one point above the relegation zone following a disastrous run of domestic form.
Tudor has lost all four matches since taking over from Thomas Frank in mid-February.
Champions League woes and defensive disasters
The interim coach is facing intense scrutiny following Tuesday’s heavy 5-2 defeat against Atletico Madrid in Spain.
He controversially substituted goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky after the shot-stopper gifted early goals to Marcos Llorente and Julian Alvarez.
Tottenham now face a massive uphill battle to overturn the three-goal deficit in the second leg of their last-16 European tie.
“They know where I am if they need me,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.
“They need somebody to go in there and give them a lift and make them believe in themselves. They’re bang in trouble, I must be truthful.”
Levy contact and oldest manager records
The veteran English coach recently revealed he had a lengthy telephone conversation with former chairman Daniel Levy.
According to the experienced tactician, Levy admitted he would have brought him back until the end of the season had he still been in charge.
Redknapp previously enjoyed a highly successful four-year tenure at White Hart Lane between 2008 and 2012.
During that spell, the charismatic leader secured two top-four finishes and won 71 of his 144 league fixtures.
Potential to break Premier League history
Should he make a dramatic comeback, the ex-QPR boss would become the oldest manager in Premier League history.
At 79 years of age, he would comfortably surpass the current record held by Roy Hodgson, who left Crystal Palace in early 2024.
He would join a growing list of older managers returning to the dugout, with 74-year-old Martin O’Neill currently managing Celtic in a similar interim capacity.
