What a year! Harry Redknapp's first interview since leaving Spurs, on heart surgery, THAT court case, the England saga and leaving a club he loved

‘I wouldn’t just take any job. I’ve no need to. I don’t want to go and work for a chairman who is a nightmare. But I do love football and I know everything that’s happening in football. So does Alex Ferguson. You talk to Fergie. I’ll sit with him and talk about Rochdale, or Fleetwood. When I started at Bournemouth, I knew every player in non-League.’

He will stick to his old-school methods and values. ‘Coaching is one thing, management is another,’ he says. ‘Fergie’s a manager. Arsene Wenger is a manager. There are managers and coaches and I actually think I’m in between. I love
coaching. I’m not blowing my own trumpet but I haven’t seen many coaches who are better than me.

‘At the end of the day the game is about good players, though. It’s about getting the best out of them. Putting them in the right positions. Understanding the game. It’s about moving Luka Modric from the left wing to central midfield. It’s about understanding the game and I understand the game. There are people who try to make the game sound complicated for their own good. They are such geniuses, some of these boys. But it’s a simple game really. You don’t need PowerPoint.
