Harry Redknapp considering return to football

Harry Redknapp has admitted that he is open to a return to football management.

The 68-year-old has been out of work since resigning from Queens Park Rangers in February, citing knee problems as a factor in his departure.

Redknapp says that he is interested in returning to the dugout, having had a break for several months.

"If there was an interesting project, then definitely. I don't feel old, I'm as sharp as ever," Redknapp told The Guardian.

"I would love to work with a young and upcoming coach somewhere and give him some experience. Something like Gerry Francis overseeing Tony Pulis. And I would still take over as manager somewhere if it was the right club with young coaches behind the scenes.

"It would have to be something I really wanted to do. I'm not going to go working with somebody I don't like. I've enjoyed my time at every club I have worked at, I've been lucky, but I won't jump in and finish up working with a chairman I didn't like very much."

Redknapp has also managed Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth, West Ham United, Southampton and Bournemouth during his career.
