HARRY REDKNAPP says he doesn’t think Sarina Wiegman is ready to replace Gareth Southgate as England manager.
The Lionesses’ boss has been tipped to crossover into the men’s game in the future.
But former Spurs, West Ham and Portsmouth boss Harry says she would need to “earn her stripes”.
Speaking exclusively to GB News, Harry said: “She’s not going to be ready to manage the England men’s team. I can’t see that really, to be truthful with you.
“I’d be lying if I sat here and said ‘yes, that would be a great idea’, I don’t see that at all.
“If she feels like going into the men’s game, I think she’s going to have to start somewhere and earn her stripes in the men’s game.
“I don’t see her walking straight into the Premier League. She’s done fantastic, but it’s very, very different.
“People who manage England have to prove themselves managing club teams first.
“I think if she goes into the men’s game, she’d have to go and manage at whatever level.
“If there’s a bold chairman out there who wants to have a go, and break the mould, fantastic.”
“If she can do it, it would be great, why not? But I would be lying if I said I could see her being the next England manager after Gareth Southgate, I really don’t see that at all.”
