Tottenham boss Redknapp welcomes new coach Jordan

Former Portsmouth coach Joe Jordan has joined Harry Redknapp at Tottenham.

The former Scotland international left his job as first-team coach at Pompey, where he had worked under Redknapp, on Saturday and will take up a similar role at Spurs.

The 56-year-old completes Redknapp's backroom staff, joining assistant manager Kevin Bond.

Redknapp said: "I am delighted to have Kevin and Joe with me here. They have both worked with me before, they are terrific football people and in my opinion they will bring so much to this club."

Redknapp added: "They have managed and coached at the top level and are two individuals who are not only friends but people who I can rely on 100 per cent to do the job.

"You need people around you who you can trust and will back you and that is what I have got in Kevin and Joe." Redknapp has also recruited former Spurs stalwarts Tim Sherwood and Les Ferdinand to work on the coaching team.

The Spurs manager said: "Tim and Les are also coming in to do a bit of work with the lads. Having them around the place will be great for us."
