"I hope so," said Redknapp. "I'd be very surprised if I didn't finish the season with Tottenham, that's for sure.
"I haven't thought about not being here at the end of the season. I've got no idea why I shouldn't."
The FA are drawing up a shortlist of candidates but the British media have installed Redknapp as the peoples' choice.
However, having been found not guilty of tax evasion on Wednesday after a two-week trial, Redknapp said he needed "a few days" to recover from the ordeal before considering the future.
"I don't think you ever think you're going to be in a position [where you will be England manager]," he said.
"I haven't got a big ego. I don't think I should be manager of England. I'm very lucky to be manager of Tottenham.
"There have been cleverer boys about than me who haven't had the opportunities I've had."
But Redknapp said the England job was a difficult one to take on. "It's aggro, isn't it? Let's not kid ourselves. It's aggravation, to be honest. You know what is coming."
"They do go into their shells a bit," he said. "You wonder sometimes whether you'd rather see the games played at Old Trafford or Anfield, where there's an atmosphere when we play at home where it's intimidating. I've often thought that.
"Wembley is a showpiece stadium, with an open pitch and it's not quite the same. If you were to play these games in a stadium where you can play English style... at Wembley it becomes a different style to what you play on a Saturday.
"England have got great players, it's about getting the best out of players," he said. "It's the same for everybody."
