Harry Redknapp made feelings about the Tottenham job clear after Daniel Levy’s phone call
Tottenham could be parting ways with interim manager Igor Tudor soon, and an impressive name has thrown his hat in the ring.
Igor Tudor will take Liverpool’s press conference but Tottenham are out of sight
Tudor is still on the job – but only just.
Tottenham confirmed on Wednesday that the 47-year-old will take Friday’s pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s trip to Anfield, all but ruling out an immediate sacking, but nobody on N17 is pretending all is well.
The numbers tell the story well.
Six losses in a row. Four losses from four since Tudor took over. He scored 14 goals in those four games alone. One point above the drop point. 11 Premier League games without a win and no top-flight victories at all in 2026 – a club record.
The Lewis family is said to be disappointed, while the older players are also angry. And they have little faith that Tudor is the man who can keep them waiting (The Telegraph).
Liverpool went away on Sunday, then Nottingham Forest – a real six points – the following week. Tudor’s fate can be closed within ten days. If Spurs lose both of them, it is very difficult to see how he survived, and many want the Croatian to be fired far before then.
So who’s coming in? That’s a question that divides the fan base.
It’s not understood that the Tottenham chief will have a say in Igor Tudor’s future as ‘name of interest’ grows at Spurs
More information has been revealed about the ‘dismissal process’ at Spurs.
Reports suggest that Sean Dyche is keen on the Tottenham job after being sacked by Nottingham Forest earlier this season, while the likes of Thiago Motta and Robbie Keane are also believed to be at the top of Spurs’ plans.
Another man has been making his feelings known about a possible Spurs vacancy today.
Harry Redknapp made Tottenham welcome after Levy’s call
Harry Redknapp, the 79-year-old who managed Spurs for four years between 2008 and 2012, has never been shy about his love of the game.
Speaking on talkSPORT this morning, the former manager who also coached West Ham for years made it clear that he may not be done yet.
Asked directly if he would take the Tottenham job, Redknapp did not hesitate.
“Yes, I will, of course,” she said.
“I won’t say no, but I don’t see myself getting it, to be honest.”
He’s honest, he knows himself, and he’s very Harry. You know the truth – but the desire is absolutely there.
He also revealed the name he believes should be sincere.
“Tim would be a good shout now,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.
“Tim Sherwood would be, you know, I think someone like Tim or Glenn Hoddle, I mean.”
The common face cry is becoming more and more common day by day. Former Spurs midfielder David Bentley has publicly backed Redknapp to take the interim role, arguing that someone who really cares about the club is what the club needs most at the moment.
Gary Lineker made similar noises. Even Jamie O’Hara – also a former Spurs player – has urged the club to take a call from Redknapp immediately.
The background to all this comes with a surprising revelation Redknapp shared today – former chairman Daniel Levy contacted him last week.
It was their first interview in more than a decade, and by all accounts Levy made it clear that his admiration for his old boss had not faded.
“I got a call last week from Daniel, funnily enough,” continued Redknapp.
“I think I’ve talked to him since I’ve been gone all that time, and I was in the car last week and suddenly the phone rings, it’s Daniel Levy.
“I thought ‘that’s amazing’ and I called him for about half an hour, talking to him and he was explaining what happened to him, and how he got out of there, which was really strange.
“And he said to me ‘If I was there now, and I’m not just saying it, I’d have you back for the rest of the season, Harry’ – so that would be exciting.”
Whether any of this translates into a tangible approach from Johan Lange, Vinai Venkatesham and the current ownership – Vivienne and Charles Lewis, with son-in-law Nick Beucher reportedly playing an increasingly influential role – remains to be seen.
