Harry Redknapp is to join the Central Coast Mariners as a football consultant, the A-League club have announced. Writing on their Twitter account during the club's end-of-season dinner, the Mariners said: "Owner Mike Charlesworth announces that Harry Redknapp will join the Mariners as a consultant." Former Portsmouth, Queens Park Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur boss Redknapp was recently in Australia as part of a two-game spell in charge of Jordan. He won his first game 8-0 against Bangladesh but went down 5-1 to the Socceroos in Sydney. The 69-year-old has accrued nearly 1,500 games of experience as a manager and is also acting as an advisor to Premier League hopefuls Derby. The Central Coast Mariners are based in Gosford, New South Wales, and won their one and only A-League title in 2012. They finished dead last in the 2015-16 season, with only three victories in 27 matches and a total of 13 points out of a possible 71.
