Redknapp: England an older man's job
March 15, 2012
Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has given another hint tat he would accept the England manager's job.
Redknapp, 65, is the favourite 2 be named the next permanent boss of England in the wake of Fabio Capello's sacking, with Stuart Pearce placed in caretaker charge.
The Spurs coach did recently state he was in 2 minds over the national role, but on Thursday Redknapp expressed his belief tat the next coach shld be English & experienced.
He said in the Sun: "It's a great job 2 be manager of your country. I've got a job 2 do @ Tottenham & I've got 2 really keep concentrating on my job there, which I do 100%, & see wat happens @ the end of the year.
"I hv never been approached by England or anybody else. I hv said all along it needs an English manager.
"We haven't achieved anything with foreign managers. Capello did OK but he had a bad World Cup. We haven't really torn up any trees with them. Why not give it 2 somebody fr here?
"I suppose @ the moment there r not a million candidates but there r some young managers who, in the future, I'm sure would be fantastic but r 2 young.
"It's an older man's job. I think it is not a job 4 a young guy. I think some guys take it 2 young. I think Steve McClaren took it 2 young, maybe Glenn Hoddle.
"I think it's a job 4 a more experienced manager. I've got 2 weigh it all up @ the end of the year & I've got 2 do wat I feel is right 4 myself & wat I feel is right 4 my family."
