LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur appointed Harry Redknapp as their new manager yesterday after the Premier League club sacked Juande Ramos late on Saturday.
Redknapp, 61, leaves Portsmouth after a successful spell at the south-coast club that included steering them to their first FA Cup triumph since 1939.
In a more than 2,000-word open letter to fans on Tottenham's website (www.tottenhamhotspur.com), Chairman Daniel Levy said he had been left with no choice but to remove Ramos, and his assistants Guy Poyet and Marcos Alvarez and director of football Damien Comolli, after the club's worst-ever start to a season.
