Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits missing the England job in 2012 still burns.
He was overlooked for job and the Football Association appointed Roy Hodgson.
"I thought it was a certainty in all honesty," said Redknapp. "I'd be a liar if I sat here and said anything else. Even Roy thought I was a certainty. But it didn't happen and that's life and I didn't lose any sleep over it. He's a top-class manager without a doubt.
"I think maybe Roy was more suited to the job than I was. Maybe he was more suited in going to St George's Park and spending more time with the FA. I always think he is perhaps more organised than me in that respect."
