Harry Redknapp Finally Speaks On Being Nigeria’s New Coach

Posted by E.L.E.X on May 28 2020 under Sports

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has debunked speculation linking him to the Nigeria job.

The Englishman was rumoured to have been contacted to take over from Gernot Rohr in the event where the Franco-German tactician fails to secure a new deal with the Super Eagles.

However, on Tuesday, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed they have reached an agreement with Rohr to continue as coach of the three-time African champions.

In his reaction, Redknapp laughed off the claims, joking he would sell his house and leave for Africa along with his wife.

“Yeah, well I spoke to Sandra and she’s always wanted to live in Nigeria,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

“She said it’s amazing that this has come up now, because that was her dream. So we’re looking to sell up, we’re putting the house on the market. We’re looking to get somewhere over there if possible. I’m sure, she’d love it there. I’ve told her, she’d absolutely love it. I’m ready to go!”

Speaking seriously, Redknapp added:

“I actually went there a few years ago with Portsmouth, we played Manchester United, but I don’t think I’ll really be going back.”
