Redknapp Resigns As Manager Of QPR
Harry Redknapp is to resign as manager of Queens Park Rangers (QPR).
Redknapp, who joined the club in November 2012, informed Chairman Tony Fernandes of his decision to resign this morning.
He is due to undergo knee replacement surgery in the coming weeks.
Redknapp told www.qpr.co.uk: "I have had such a fantastic time at QPR. I would like to thank the Board, the players and all my staff, and especially the supporters who have been absolutely fantastic to me since I arrived at the club for their tremendous support.
"Sadly I need immediate surgery on my knee which is going to stop me from doing my job in the coming weeks. It means I won't be able to be out on the training pitch every day, and if I can't give 100 per-cent I feel it's better for someone else to take over the reins.
"My relationship with Tony Fernandes has been one of the highlights of my footballing career and I wish the club every success. I am confident they will survive in the Premier League this year."
