Shock Scenes! Harry Redknapp’s Odds SLASHED From 200/1 To 11/2 To Replace Claude Puel At Leicester City
08:49, 18 Jan 2019

Claude Puel may still be in the Leicester City job, but that hasn’t stopped frenzied speculation linking a number of gaffers with the former Premier League champions.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has been hotly tipped to take over should a vacancy arise in the East Midlands, with the ex-Liverpool boss currently as short as 4/9 in the next Leicester City manager market (Paddy Power).

Another manager in employment, Burnley’s Sean Dyche, has been propelled into the mix at 4/1, while the newest addition to the Job Centre, David Wagner, is in the frame at 5/1 to make a swift return to the dugout following his departure from rock-bottom Huddersfield earlier this week.

However, the market has been rocked by the sudden presence of a certain Harry Redknapp who has abruptly burst into the top echelons of the betting.

Redknapp, aka The King of the Jungle, has been SLASHED from a gargantuan 200/1 outsider to an 11/2 major contender.

The veteran gaffer began his managerial career way back in the early 1980s with Bournemouth, before going on to take charge of West Ham, Portsmouth (twice), with a spell at their south coast rivals Southampton sandwiched in between.

He enjoyed most success during his four-year spell at Tottenham, while he’s since overseen QPR, Jordan, and most recently Birmingham with whom he saved from Championship relegation at the end of the 2016/17 season, only to lose his job in the early stages of the following campaign - this remains his last job in management.

More recently, Redknapp caught the attention of the wider English public a couple of months ago when he was crowned the winner of the 2018 edition of I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!

It’s worth remembering that Puel remains the Foxes boss, for now at least, but should his side slump to a defeat at Wolves this weekend his position would come under further scrutiny, and - who knows? - Redknapp could soon be cropping up at the King Power Stadium in the near future in what would be one of the more surprising managerial appointments of the decade.
