Harry Redknapp would be open to the idea of managing England at Euro 2012
this summer while remaining in charge of Tottenham. He insists, however, that it
would be “impossible” to marry both jobs on a long-term basis, claiming such a
move would hamper the national side’s chances of success and be “unfair” on the
Tottenham fans who supported him during his recent tax evasion trial. Redknapp
had previously hinted that he would only consider taking charge of England on a
long-term basis, but the 64-year-old now appears willing to take on a dual role
for a short period. “Part-time? In the short term I think it’s possible for the
European Championships,” said Redknapp, “(but) in the long term it’s not
possible to manage a club team and manage a national team.”
