Jordan free to take reins with Scotland – Redknapp

Jordan and Kevin Bond were Redknapp’s assistants at Portsmouth and Tottenham and have been added to his management team at Loftus Road.

However Jordan has been named as a possible replacement for Craig Levein, who was sacked by the Scottish Football Association last month.

The fact that Jordan, 60, has agreed to join the west London club makes the chances of him returning to his homeland slim.

Nonetheless Redknapp would not obstruct his colleague if he were to have a change of heart.

“If they came calling it would be up to Joe, it’s his life,” said Redknapp, whose side go in search of the first win of the season at home to Aston Villa tomorrow.

“If he said to me he wanted to manage Scotland I’m not going to argue with him, that’s for sure. Joe’s a good man, a top man.

“I’m pleased to have him and Kevin here. Kevin and Joe are all sorted.”
