Bolton boss Coyle: Tottenham's Redknapp ticks all boxes for England

Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle says Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp ticks all the boxes for England.

Redknapp is favourite for the vacant England manager's job.

Coyle said: "What (the FA) have to do now is make sure they get the right man for the job because I certainly believe England have a fantastic chance at the Euros.

"I can totally understand why the clamour would be for Harry Redknapp. I think when you look at the England squad, they have a terrific group of players who play at elite clubs and certainly know how the game needs to be played.

"They will have been coached at the very highest level for many, many years. In my opinion, what England need is somebody to go in and get that spirit together, that camaraderie and to be a motivator.

"Harry Redknapp ticks every box, and he also has fantastic football knowledge. When you put that all together, there is no doubt he is a complete package.

"The difficulty with that is that he has done such a fantastic job with Tottenham Hotspur. I have no doubt - for me, he would be the perfect choice, but I think Tottenham might have something to say about that."
