Harry Redknapp nears England role

The odds on Harry Redknapp becoming the next England manager have been after he was cleared of two charges of tax evasion.

Redknapp, currently in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, had spent the last two weeks at Southwark Crown Court where he had been on trial for cheating the public revenue along with former Portsmouth chairman Milan Mandaric.

Following the not guilty verdicts, some bookmakers have slashed the odds on Redknapp becoming the coach of the Three Lions to 1/3.

Current England manager Fabio Capello will leave the position at the conclusion of the Euro 2012.
