'They know where I am' - could Redknapp return to manage Spurs?

Tottenham interim manager Igor Tudor has lost all four games since replacing Thomas Frank on 14 February, leaving Spurs a point above the Premier League's bottom three and facing a 5-2 first-leg deficit against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16.

Tudor's position has come under intense scrutiny after he substituted goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky following early goals conceded to Marcos Llorente and Julian Alvarez in Tuesday's heavy defeat in Spain.

At the Cheltenham Festival, where he had a runner in the Gold Cup, Harry Redknapp indicated he would be available to return if Tottenham wanted him, saying the club know where he is and that they need someone to lift them and rebuild their belief.

Redknapp said he spoke with former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, who indicated he would have offered Redknapp the job until the end of the season.

Levy reportedly told Redknapp that if he had been in charge at that moment, he would have brought him back for the remainder of the campaign.

Redknapp noted that Levy called last week and they spoke for about half an hour.

Redknapp would be by far the oldest manager to take charge of a Premier League club if he returned, at 79 years and 12 days.

He would be older than Roy Hodgson was when he left Crystal Palace in February 2024.

He left his last top flight role with QPR in 2015, a month before his 68th birthday.

The article notes other veterans who have taken unexpected returns this season, including Martin O’Neill, 74, at Celtic and Neil Warnock, 77, at Torquay United.

Rob Green said Redknapp would bring a left-field level of leadership that could help the club.

Brad Friedel argued he would not condone players failing to shake a hand after a defeat.

Glenn Murray suggested Harry could lift the group but warned Spurs should consider other options for a longer term plan.
