Harry Redknapp may not be in a rush to get back into management but says he would love a crack at another top job.

The 65-year-old saw a successful spell at Tottenham come to an abrupt end this summer and has been linked with a host of jobs in the four months that followed, with QPR, Southampton and Leicester amongst those mooted as possible destinations.

Redknapp, who is working in an advisory role at former club Bournemouth, has reiterated his desire to work with top players and, until the right opportunity comes up, is making the most of his time off.

"I am enjoying it and if something good comes along that interested me, I'd be interested in getting back in again," Redknapp said.

"It would have to be something I'd really want to do. I wouldn't just dive in and take any job for the sake of it. I worked with good players the last eight or nine years or so and enjoyed it so that is where I would want to be.

"I've had offers from abroad - quite a few good offers from decent clubs abroad - but they've not really interested me so I've not sort of done anything with any of them.

"Other than that, I've kept a low profile. Saturday afternoons, if am around, I go and watch Bournemouth play. I get there, watch the game and normally leave five or 10 minutes before the end and watch the 5.15pm kick-off on TV. That's it really.

"I haven't been to a Premier League game. I wouldn't want to start turning up and people saying 'what's he doing here?' I've kept out the way, really."
