There is perhaps no profession like football managament for producing charismatic figures, and few more charismatic football managers in the profession than Harry Redknapp. During a colourful career that so many felt should have led to him managing England, Redknapp enjoyed periods of success and built entertaining teams at West Ham, Portsmouth – who he inspired to the FA Cup in 2008 – Tottenham and more, and often ended up surrounded by other similarly charismatic individuals.
Redknapp’s strength of personality and numerous contacts naturally mean he crossed paths with so many attempting to follow in his footsteps – and many of those have spoken to The Coaches’ Voice about his influence and what it was like to work with him. The best of those, from former players, his coaching staff, and fellow managers all speaking fondly of someone whose popularity grows by the day, have naturally been compiled into one place.
