Significant coup

The QPR website said: "Redknapp's arrival in W12 represents a significant coup for the club. "Widely-regarded as one of the best English managers in the business, his track record at the highest level speaks for itself. "After guiding Portsmouth to an FA Cup final victory in 2007/08, he enjoyed arguably his finest hour in management at Tottenham Hotspur, where he led them into the Champions League for the first time in their history at the end of the 2009/10 season. "He was also named Premier League manager of the year at the end of that campaign."
