Harry Redknapp has all but ruled out a job on the continent but is targeting a return to management in the Premier League.

Redknapp was sacked by Tottenham in June after four years in charge at White Hart Lane, having steered Spurs into the Champions League for the first time in 2010.

Redknapp, who had been linked with the Russia job - which was subsequently taken by former England boss Fabio Capello, insists he will not rush back into management and will hold out for the right club.

"I've managed good players at Tottenham and at Portsmouth and at West Ham," Redknapp told BBC Radio Five Live. "Honestly, I enjoy working with good players to be honest with you.

"When you've been working with top players it's very difficult to work with inferior players if you like. I think I am capable of managing at the very top level so we'll see what comes up.

"England is home to the grandkids and everything else is here - it would be difficult unless it was the right offer [abroad] I really fancied and was a special offer. Other than that I would look to manage in England in the future. I love it, I love the Premier League, I enjoy English football and I enjoy being in England."
