The 64-year-old has established himself with Spurs in recent seasons as arguably the most talented English manager of his generation.
Having gained qualification for the Champions League last year, Redknapp has guided Spurs to the quarter-finals of the competition this time around – even outshining North London neighbours Arsenal, who bowed out to Barcelona.
“I was a big Arsenal supporter as a kid,” he said. “My dad was a mad Gooner and I always went with him.
“We were Arsenal fanatics. Great club, Arsenal - I'd love to have got hold of them.”
But better news for Spurs – and possibly England – is that the 64-year-old is not considering retirement any time soon, as he enjoys life in football so much he could never content himself with becoming a spectator.
“I don't want to think about retirement. I reckon I'll get bored if I retire,” he said.
“I could even do a Bobby Robson - I want a knighthood!
“I got fed up when I was out of the game so all the while there's a job somewhere I'll probably be around.”
