Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has revealed his new coaching team is already coming together.

On Kevin Bond, Redknapp said: "Kevin is my assistant and I'm delighted to have him with me but he's a terrific coach so I'm well pleased."

Of the other contenders, the 61-year-old added: "Tim (Sherwood) would never let you down.

"He's got a fantastic knowledge of the game, he's played for me and captained Blackburn to the title - he would make a great coach and needs to give it a go now.

"I think he's a bit worried about what's involved - but he needs to take the gamble."

Clive Allen is on the Spurs payroll already, and Redknapp continued on BBC Radio Five Live: "I've known Clive for a long time.

"He's a legend at Tottenham and his dad was as well - and he's a terrific coach.

"I want him with me. He knows the game and he was a big help on Sunday."
