Harry Redknapp will go to the European Championship this summer after all – as a television pundit.

The Tottenham Hotspur manager, who was overlooked for the England manager's job after the Football Association decided to appoint Roy Hodgson instead, has accepted a role with the BBC.

Redknapp will now offer an insight into the matches in Poland and Ukraine as part of the BBC team, which will be headed by Gary Lineker.

Meanwhile, Redknapp feels his team are "coming back strong" at the right time following their 4-1 victory at Bolton Wanders on Wednesday, a result that keeps them ahead of Newcastle on goal difference in the race for a top-four place and move them within a point of Arsenal, who are in third.

"I don't remember having a rough time. I felt we had been playing well," Redknapp said. "It just went that way for us. We weren't playing badly, we hadn't lost our confidence. It has not been that drastic, but everyone has spells.

"You have got to keep at it. Everybody has bad spells during a season. Arsenal had an horrendous spell but came back strong. We have had a dicky spell, now we are coming back strong. That is what you have to do, you have to keep going."
