Harry Redknapp signs deal to remain at Birmingham City

Harry Redknapp will continue as Birmingham City manager next season.

The 70-year-old has signed a one-year contract with the Midland’s side.

The former West Ham and Tottenham boss replaced Gianfranco Zola at St Andrew's for the final three Championship games of the 2016-17 campaign.

Redknapp guided the side to avoiding relegation, winning two out the three, as they survived dropping to League One by two points.

Redknapp had initially joined Birmingham on a short-term contract and revealed he would not have been paid if Birmingham did not remain in the second tier.
