QPR boss Redknapp delighted to add Hoddle to team

QPR boss Harry Redknapp is delighted to have Glenn Hoddle on his coaching team.

Hoddle is to join coaches Kevin Bond and Joe Jordan in working beneath Redknapp in what will be his first tracksuit role since stepping down as Wolves manager in 2006.

"I'm really pleased to bring Glenn in," Redknapp said.

"I have been really lucky in the last couple of years to have had Steve Cotterill, Steve McClaren and Wally Downes work with us. They all did a fantastic job here.

"I spoke with the chairman about the possibility of bringing Glenn in and he thought it was a great idea.

"Glenn will be great. He has a brilliant knowledge of the game and will be fantastic out on the training ground with the players.

"He is a hugely-respected coach and, like Steve, has managed his country.

"I decided that if I was going to bring somebody in, I was going to go for somebody who was top class and that's what Glenn is."
