FA chiefs are hatching an emergency plan to install Harry Redknapp as England manager for the Euro 2012 finals.
Top brass have been working to find Fabio Capello’s long-term successor and Tottenham chief Redknapp is the red-hot choice to step into the job.
And People Sport can reveal that an official approach could be made to Spurs for their manager before Capello’s contract runs out next summer.
The possibility of Redknapp managing England at the finals is now being openly discussed in the corridors of power – and is rated ‘probable’ by top sources.
Redknapp could even be offered the post on a part-time basis this season, amid fears that the Three Lions will flop in Poland and Ukraine.
The only question is when Redknapp takes charge, as the FA await the verdict on the Spurs boss’ forthcoming tax issue trial before making a move.
Redknapp has made no secret of his desire to manage England and he might get his chance after the Montenegro qualifying showdown next month.
Capello is already a ‘dead man walking’ as he is leaving next summer, and it would not cost the FA much to let the Italian’s deal run down, or pay him off early.
