Harry Redknapp named permanent Birmingham City boss

Birmingham City confirm that Harry Redknapp is to stay on as manager for another year after holding successful talks with the club's owners.

Harry Redknapp is to stay on as manager of Championship club Birmingham City after penning a one-year deal at St Andrew's.

The 70-year-old was initially appointed last month as a short-term successor to Gianfranco Zola, who stood down after a disastrous spell in the West Midlands.

Redknapp was given three games to retain Birmingham's second-tier status, which he achieved thanks to wins over Huddersfield Town and Bristol City in the final week of the season.

After keeping City in the division, the former Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers chief hinted that he would like to stay on for another year if given assurances by Far East backers Trillion Trophy Asia.

Successful talks between Redknapp and the club's owners were held earlier this week, with the experienced boss agreeing to stay on for at least another 12 months.

Birmingham have yet to give details of Redknapp's full backroom staff.
