‘That would be interesting’: Harry Redknapp reacts after hearing Spurs could appoint 37-year-old as their new manager

Harry Redknapp has been reacting after hearing that Vincent Kompany is a candidate for the Tottenham job after Antonio Conte’s sacking.

Kompany has been strongly linked with a move to the north London club in recent weeks, and according to Redknapp, this could be a great move.

on the Beyond The Pitch Podcast, Redknapp gave his verdict on the links between Kompany and Tottenham, and he seems to like the idea of the 37-year-old coming to north London.

Indeed, Redknapp says that it would be very interesting to see the Manchester City legend at Spurs, claiming that he looks like a fantastic young manager and a great fit for Tottenham.

Kompany is great

Redknapp reacted to the Kompany rumours.

“Listen, I don’t know. They’re talking about Vincent Kompany being of interest. That would be interesting. He’s a great guy, he looks like a fantastic young man, a top player who looks like he could be a great manager,” Redknapp said.

Worth a punt

Of all the candidates that have been mentioned as potential future Spurs managers, Kompany may well be the most fascinating coach.

He’s young, he’s well-respected, he knows the league and he plays a gorgeous brand of football with Burnley.

As Redknapp says, Kompany has all the makings of being a top class manager, but, as ever, there is a catch.

Indeed, the 37-year-old seems to be quite happy in the north west with Burnley having spent the best part of the last 15 years living in Manchester when he was a City player.

Factor in that he’s been tipped as a potential replacement for Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, and there are questions as to whether or not Kompany would even want the Spurs job.

This is certainly a situation to keep an eye on.
