Redknapp linked with Ukraine post

Redknapp, if he took the job, would potentially find himself up against England and Roy Hodgson, who beat him to the England national manager’s position last season.

“In my opinion, Redknapp has a high reputation among the players of the national team,” said Mikhail Fomenko, who has responsibility for the national team with the Ukrainian Football Federation.

“He has enough experience, coaching talent and ability to motivate players. At every team he has headed, Redknapp has quickly improved the quality of their play game and made significant progress. In the modern game, he is an expert, one of the best English coaches.”
