Redknapp calls Tuchel a 'German spy' at charity event
- At a charity event last week in London, Harry Redknapp, aged 78, joked that England's new manager Thomas Tuchel, appointed last October as Gareth Southgate's successor, is a "German spy".
- Redknapp's comments, made before Tuchel's first two games, stemmed from Tuchel being the first German manager of the England team.
- The former Tottenham and Portsmouth boss told a live audience that Tuchel had been "sent over to f*** us up", and footage obtained by The Guardian shows Redknapp raising his left arm in what appeared to be a Nazi salute.
- Redknapp stated, "I liked Gareth Southgate, I liked him a lot, but we should have won something," and later added, "I'll be honest with you, I think he's a German spy."
- Redknapp's comments were met with laughter and applause from the audience, while Tuchel began his reign with a 2-0 victory over Albania last Friday and followed up with a 3-0 victory over Latvia on Monday.
