Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp on the touchline

The Tottenham manager has reacted angrily to rumours of his resignation

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has quashed rumours that he has resigned and launched a scathing attack on the publishers of the rumours.

There had been speculation suggesting that he was set to resign from his position at White Hart Lane.

Redknapp told ESPN: “No, I haven’t resigned, and I have no idea why it is being suggested that I have resigned.

“This is an outrage; an absolute liberty for people to be putting around this kind of rumour on the internet. It is not true, there is not a chance I will resign. Why should I? I have a year left on my contract.”

Redknapp and chairman Daniel Levy are trying, with difficulty, to agree on a new deal, with the 65-year-old’s current one expiring next year.
