Harry Redknapp names surprising candidate for his manager of the seasonDAZN
Who does the former Premier League boss think has been the best of 2023-24?

Harry Redknapp has put forward a surprising name for his manager of the season in the Premier League. 

The former Tottenham and Portsmouth boss has shied away from the likes of Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp at the top of the Premier League and hasn't plumped for the likes of Gary O'Neil or Unai Emery. 

Instead, Redknapp revealed to BetVictor that his manager of the season comes from the other end of the table after seeing his team punch above their weight all campaign. 

“Manager of the season? Rob Edwards for me,” he said.

“I think he’s pulled off a miracle to even have Luton in contention of staying up at this point of the season. I love the way they go about things and the way they play – they really attack teams and have a go.

"Every match they play they’re in the game and they’re trying to win them, it’s a breath of fresh air what they’re achieving. Edwards has been brilliant for them – I don’t know him personally but he seems like a great lad as well.
 
“Obviously you can give it to Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp, but they’re managing clubs who are meant to be challenging because they’ve got incredible players and fantastic squads.

"Edwards is doing a job down there on really limited resources with a tiny stadium and didn’t spend any money in the summer, so to even have them in contention at the moment to stay up in the Premier League is a miracle.”
