Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp's statement about England boss Thomas Tuchel being 'a German spy' has sparked controversy. When speaking at a charity event last month, Redknapp made the comment and also seemed to make a Nazi salute. The ex-manager, now 78, said it was 'only a joke' that 'badly backfired'. Tuchel officially started his England role in January and led the team to World Cup qualifying wins. Redknapp's remarks have raised eyebrows in the football world.
