Harry Redknapp hints at Birmingham City stay following Championship survival
Harry Redknapp has admitted he could stay at Birmingham if the club matches his ambition.
Birmingham survived a tense final day in the Championship as Che Adams’ 16th-minute strike gave them a 1-0 win at Bristol City as Blackburn, despite beating Brentford, dropped into League One.
The second win of Redknapp’s three-game caretaker reign ensured Birmingham did not have to worry about wins for Rovers and Nottingham Forest.
Asked about his future, Redknapp replied: “I’ve got a good situation in my life. I don’t need to be chasing work. I work with a few different companies.
“I’ll have a chat and see what their (Birmingham owners) ambitions are.
“If they’re ambitious and want to have a go next year, then I’d be interested.”
Redknapp’s mobile phone rang during the post-match press conference and his response brought laughter from journalists.
“Someone’s ringing me now,” Redknapp said.
“What’s that? Beijing in China? My God! Maybe there’s a job going in China? I’m off to China!”
Redknapp turned 70 in March but he celebrated like an excited teenager as the final whistle signalled Birmingham’s safety.
“I don’t feel anywhere near like a 70-year-old,” Redknapp said.
“It was tense, we were hanging in there at the end.”
