Chelsea considering shock approach for Redknapp after drawing Guardiola blank



C helsea could be ready to make a shock move to tempt Harry Redknapp to take over at Stamford Bridge.



The 65-year-old Tottenham manager is one of the names being considered by Roman Abramovich as he seeks the likeliest candidate to put Chelsea back at the top of English football.



The chances are that Redknapp would seize the opportunity to seek a fresh challenge after taking Spurs from the foot of the Premier League into the Champions League in just three seasons.

Sign of things to come?: Harry Redknapp is a candidate for the Chelsea job

Speculation is rife about Redknapp's rocky relationship with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and the White Hart Lane boss suffered the disappointment of missing out on the England manager's job to Roy Hodgson, despite being the overwhelming people's favourite.

But switching to Chelsea, where his nephew Frank Lampard is an influential dressing-room member, would be fantastic consolation.

Chelsea have already sounded out ex-Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola without success and have also made a discreet approach to former boss Jose Mourinho.
