Tottenham sack Ramos for Redknapp

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked coach Juande Ramos and sporting director
Damien Comolli and are set to appoint Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp.

Spurs have agreed a compensation package of £5m with Portsmouth,
according to the 61-year-old Redknapp.

Tottenham also axed first team coaches Gus Poyet and Marcos Alvarez
following their worst ever start to a season.

"It's a big opportunity for me to manage a big club before I retire,"
said Redknapp.

Spurs are four points adrift at the bottom of the Premier League after
taking just two points from eight matches this season. They also lost
to Udinese in the Uefa Cup on Thursday.

Redknapp revealed Spurs contacted Portsmouth on Friday morning, and
after discussions between Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and Pompey
chief executive Peter Storrie, it was agreed he could talk to the
London club.

"I love Portsmouth and I loved my time there, we had some fantastic
success and I'd never been happier," said Redknapp.

"But it's a great deal for Portsmouth, £5m for me, and it's a chance
for me to get on and see what I can do.

"Once Tottenham came in and once the offer was made it was difficult
for the club to turn down a £5m offer for a manager.

"The club were pleased to take it and hopefully people will remember
what I've done there."

Redknapp expects the official announcement to come from White Hart
Lane on Sunday morning.

"It will all be sorted out and by tomorrow morning I should be in
place," he said.

Clive Allen, development squad coach, and Alex Inglethorpe, youth team
manager will take charge of Sunday's game against Bolton, while
Redknapp expects to be at White Hart Lane to address the players
before the match.

"I know as much about Tottenham as anyone," said Redknapp. "I've
followed the club for years and years.

"They've been on an horrendous run of games and we've got to get
cracking and turn it around as quick as we can.

"We need a little bit more strength and aggression about the team if
we're going to survive."

In January, Redknapp held talks with Newcastle to succeed Sam
Allardyce as manager but eventually rejected the offer.

Redknapp spent most of his playing career with West Ham and
Bournemouth and went on to manage both clubs before taking charge of
Portsmouth in 2002, guiding the club into the Premier League within 14
months as First Division champions.

He left Fratton Park for Pompey's bitter south coast rivals
Southampton in 2004 but returned in December 2005.

Then, after dramatically saving Pompey from the drop with an
unbelievable final 10-game run, Redknapp steered them to a best-ever
Premier League finish of ninth in 2006/07.

They bettered that by a place in 2007/08, and won the FA Cup against
Cardiff, qualifying for their first journey into Uefa Cup football.

The 54-year-old Ramos joined Spurs from Sevilla on 27 October 2007
after Dutchman Martin Jol was sacked.

The Spaniard enjoyed back-to-back Uefa Cup triumphs with Sevilla and
guided Tottenham to February's League Cup final where they beat
Chelsea 2-1 for the club's first trophy since 1999.

However, several first-choice players left in the summer, notably
Bulgaria striker Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United and Robbie
Keane to Liverpool.

England striker Jermain Defoe was also sold last January to Redknapp's
Portsmouth.

Tottenham splashed out about £60m on the likes of Croatia midfielder
Luka Modric, England winger David Bentley, Russia striker Roman
Pavlyuchenko and Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes.
