Harry Redknapp prepared to offer 'wealth of experience' if Leeds United call amid manager search

Harry Redknapp is reportedly willing to come out of retirement if he is offered the managerial vacancy at Leeds United.

According to the Mirror, Redknapp is prepared to offer his wealth of experience on a short-term deal to help keep Leeds in the Premier League.

The 75-year-old has managed 1,395 games during a famous managerial career spanning across four decades. Neil Warnock has also made his return to management by penning a short-term deal at Championship strugglers Huddersfield Town earlier this week.

Redknapp is believed to be open to a similar agreement if Leeds contact him over becoming Jesse Marsch's successor. Leeds have been rebuffed by Carlos Corberan, Arne Slot, Andoni Iraola, and now Philippe Clement as their search for a new manager rumbles on.

Michael Skubala looks set to take charge of his third game as caretaker manager after leading the side for their back-to-back games against bitter rivals Manchester United.

Leeds had led 2-0 at Old Trafford only for second half goals from Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho to earn the Red Devils a draw. The Whites then held Man United for 80 minutes until quickfire goals from Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho condemned them to a 2-0 defeat at Elland Road on Sunday.

Redknapp has been out of work since he was sacked by Championship side Birmingham City in September 2017. Only Arsene Wenger (828); Sir Alex Ferguson (810), and David Moyes (641) have taken charge of more Premier League games than Redknapp's total of 641.

The 2018 King of the Jungle famously helped Portsmouth lift the FA Cup in 2008, and then inspired Tottenham Hotspur to UEFA Champions League qualification in 2009-10.
