Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has backed Mauricio Pochettino to manage Arsenal in the future!

Redknapp spoke about Pochettino losing his job at Spurs, which has now gone to Jose Mourinho.

The ex-Spurs and Portsmouth boss had a lot of good things to say about Pochettino, while he believes that his attacking principles make him suited to the job at Spurs' bitter rivals Arsenal.

When asked about the rivalry aspect, Redknapp said fans would not care if he won Arsenal games in an entertaining way.

"With Pochettino going from Tottenham, there will be one or two Premier League managers waking up this morning thinking, 'oh my God, this ain't too clever'," Redknapp told talkSPORT.

"And there will be one or two chairmen very excited this morning thinking if there's any way they could get him in. What a signing he'd be.

"There are clubs in London who are having a terrible time. Why shouldn't he go to Arsenal if he wants to? You think the Arsenal fans wouldn't love him there?

"If you go in there and start winning football matches, they would have taken Saddam Hussein in there when he was about, the fans don't give a monkey's! If you start winning every week, they're singing 'there's only one Saddam'.

"It happens in football – Sol Campbell went from Tottenham to Arsenal, George Graham did it, Terry Neill did it, Pat Jennings, one of our greatest goalkeepers in history, even he made the change.

"It can happen, as long as you can do the job. I would have thought Arsenal will be looking at Pochettino now thinking, 'could we? Can we?'"
