Sandro delighted to be reunited with QPR boss Redknapp

Sandro is delighted to be playing for his former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp again with QPR.

Rio Ferdinand, Steven Caulker and Niko Kranjcar also took the opportunity of working with the 67-year-old again this summer having played under him earlier in their careers.

"It doesn't surprise me that Rio, Steven, Niko and myself all made the decision to play for Harry again," Sandro explained to the London Evening Standard.

"He has a good relationship with the players and this is the way he is. He likes to work with people he knows well and similarly, from the player side, we know we can trust him. I feel good and I'm happy that he asked me to come here.

"It was difficult for me to leave Tottenham and maybe if Harry wasn't here, I wouldn't have come to QPR. That is not meant to disrespect the club in any way but it just reflects how influential his presence was in my decision.

"He is a good manager and the club has a lot of ambition. I like to fight and coming here is a good challenge for me because we have to work hard to stay up."
