Harry Redknapp reveals who he thinks should replace Arsene Wenger as Arsenal boss

Harry Redknapp believes Tony Adams could be Arsenal's next manager

FORMER Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes Tony Adams is the right man to succeed Arsene Wenger as Arsenal’s next manager.

 

The Frenchman, who has been the Gunners boss since 1996, is currently under contract at the Emirates until the end of the 2016-17 season.

Last week, the 66-year-old hinted that he would walk away from the club once he sees out the final year of his deal at the Emirates.

He said: "I am resolute to commit absolutely until the last day of my contract to bring back big success to this club.

"And I want to leave it where it can do even better when I arrived.

"That is for me very important, that I leave the club in the shape that the guy who comes after me can do better.”

Wenger's comments have prompted discussions on who might replace Wenger as manager, and Redknapp is keen for an Englishman to take over at the Emirates.

 

Redknapp believes Arsenal's current assistant manger Steve Bould could also be in contention

He told the London Evening Standard: "Why shouldn’t Arsenal give Steve Bould a go? Or Tony Adams?"

Adams managed in the Premier League with Portsmouth between 2008-2009, having previously been in charge of Wycombe Wanderers.

His most recent role was with Azerbaijani outfit Gabala between 2010-11.
