Madrid coach Mourinho backing Redknapp for England job

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is supporting Tottenham counterpart Harry Redknapp as a future England coach. Redknapp effectively offered himself as a candidate last year when he said the next manager after Fabio Capello should be English.

Mourinho, who describes Redknapp as a "friend," says: "He's a good manager for every team - there's no limits for him. Give him a team and he's ready for everything."

The Portuguese coach was speaking ahead of the two teams' Champions League quarter finals first-leg match on Tuesday.

Mourinho has already said he hopes Tottenham reach the May 28 final at Wembley if Madrid don't.
