London: Harry Redknapp believes his sacking as manager of second-tier Birmingham City will finally bring the curtain down on his long career.

The 70-year-old Englishman — who numbers Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth among the clubs he has managed — left his post after just 13 games in charge following Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat by Preston North End.

“I doubt very much whether it will happen again now,” Redknapp told the BBC, referring to getting another managerial job.

“I’m a realist. If I could help someone somewhere, help a young manager, I’d love that. I did it at Derby with Darren Wassall (2015/16 season) and had a great time.”
