Harry Redknapp has revealed that former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy told him he would have brought him back to rescue the club from relegation if he were still in charge. The 79-year-old former Spurs manager said he received a phone call from Levy last week, during which Levy expressed his desire to parachute Redknapp in for the final games of the season.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Redknapp said: "I got a phone call last week from Daniel, funnily enough. I think I spoke to him once since I left all that time ago, and I was in the car last week and suddenly the phone goes, it's Daniel Levy. I thought 'that's strange' and I was on the phone to him for about half an hour, chatting to him and he was explaining what happened to him, and how he got marched out of there, which was really strange."
Levy, who left his role in September after more than 20 years at the helm, reportedly told Redknapp: "If I was there now, and I'm not just saying it, I would bring you back in until the end of the season, Harry." However, Redknapp said he is not expecting a call from the current Tottenham hierarchy.
Tottenham are currently fighting relegation after a disastrous Premier League campaign. The decision to replace Thomas Frank with Igor Tudor has backfired, with the Croatian losing all four of his games in charge. Tudor's position is under threat, and former Spurs striker Jurgen Klinsmann has expressed interest in answering an SOS call, stating the club needs someone who can connect emotionally and instil a fighting spirit.
