Harry Redknapp responds to UAE job rumours

Tom Victor

It appears as though talk of Harry Redknapp taking over at Al-Jazira is a bit premature.

The former Tottenham manager took to Twitter to deny contact with the UAE top-flight club, whose current coach Abel Braga is thought to be on his way out.

Al-Jazira have struggled to cope with the loss of Manuel Lanzini to West Ham, and currently sit 11th in the 14-team league after nine matches.

But they may need to look for someone other than Redknapp to turn things around.

The 68-year-old has been without a club since leaving QPR in February, but perhaps we should always have been sceptical about the prospect of him taking a job away from the South of England.
