Sven-Goran Eriksson backs Harry Redknapp to be the next England manager.

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson has said that Harry Redknapp would be a "very good choice" as the next coach of the national team.

Redknapp's odds of taking over Fabio Capello after Euro 2012 were slashed on Wednesday after he was cleared of all charges during his tax evasion trial.

"I think Redknapp will be a very, very good choice. He's English, he knows his football," said Eriksson, who departed the England setup in 2006.

"He is doing a great job with Tottenham and has done a great job with every team he's had in the past, so I guess it will be him.

"You need to be an experienced manager used to dealing with the big names and some knowledge about international football would help. I think Harry has all these things."

Spurs are currently third in the Premier League table.
