Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is happy to see Gianfranco Zola in charge of former club West Ham United.

"He was a great player, one of the greatest foreign imports we've had," Redknapp said. "He was a great ambassador for the game with the way he played. He was a great sportsman as well as a great footballer.

"He's been working with the Italy Under-21s so this is a good opportunity for him. I'm sure he'll get them playing the type of football they are used to playing at West Ham.

"The fans have been brought up on attractive, attacking football. That is what they've always demanded there and, with the way he played his football, he'll fit into that perfectly."
