Former Tottenham and West Ham manager Harry Redknapp has joined Derby County as a football advisor.

The 69-year-old will work alongside head coach Darren Wassall until the end of the season, when a review of the club's coaching structure will occur.

Derby sacked previous head coach Paul Clement in February and appointed Wassall until the end of the season.

The Rams are fifth in the Championship, seven points adrift of an automatic promotion place.

Redknapp, who has been out of work since leaving QPR in January 2015, told the club website: "From the first conversation I had with the chairman (Mel Morris) it was clear he has exciting plans for the football club.

"I am delighted to be able to help out and am looking forward to working with Darren and his team."

Legend doesn't necessarily mean good.

He's chatting about promotion - didn't they sack Clement because they don't want promotion? tinpot club

Only on loan before 24th. So no doubt 3 premiership players on their way there starting with Crouch and Kranjcar

That's on another Level

So to summarise...

They bring Paul Clement in in the summer, give him £25m to spend, bin him off 7 months later when they're 5 points off automatic (saying promotion was "not the primary target"), put the Academy Director in charge of the 1st team, who then asks for help in the form of a mentor. So now Harry arrives as a "football advisor" (not as Director of Football of course, cos 'Arry is already on record as saying they're shit). You couldn't make it up.

FANTASTIC planning by the Derby chairman and board this season. Well done everyone.

Adds a bit of panto to see the season out. Sounds like a great idea.

Yes, i did read that completely wrong.

Although there are some who wanted him in the England job!

Harrys not fit to even wipe Roys arse IMO.

Didn't I hear he was also going to do a bit of work for Jordan (that bit of land near Israel, not the model formerly know as Katie Price).

Maybe you're getting confused with Petra, which is his other dog / offshore bank account?

And just like that, Darren Wassall's fledgling managerial career was over before it even started, lost forever in the maelstrom of hype generated by the ever-quotable Mr Redknapp & his army of media chums.

Poor old Darren.
