Former Hammer to manage Jordan

|

harryFormer Hammer, Harry Redknapp has been confirmed as  the manager of the Jordan national team for their next two World Cup qualifiers, 48 hours after being appointed a football advisor at Derby County.

It is Redknapp’s first jobs in football since he quit as QPR boss last year.

Prince Ali Al Hussein, president of the Jordan Football Association, said: “I’m very proud to be able to announce Harry’s appointment to our national side. 

“He is a world class manager with an internationally recognised record at the highest level.

“This is a fantastic step for the national game in Jordan. There are some important fixtures coming up for football in this country and we are confident Harry is the man to help us succeed in qualifying and take us to the next level.”

For those who are unaware of the place here’s how Wiki describes Jordan: “Jordan, an Arab nation on the east bank of the Jordan River, is defined by ancient monuments, nature reserves and seaside resorts.

It’s home to the famed archaeological site of Petra, the Nabatean capital dating to around 300 B.C.E. Set in a narrow valley with tombs, temples and monuments carved into the surrounding pink sandstone cliffs, Petra earns its nickname, the “Rose City.”

What was that about ‘ancient monuments?’

    Sean let me help Jordan is a bird who had these great big swellings under her chin,
    Rose city is the long name for his account who was not at Crufts this year
    Derby is a cash insertive job to pay for the off shore bank account
    Any job that on includes 2 games is called very part time,
    Good luck Harry but be careful very harsh sentences for fraud or failure
