However, the 75-year-old is now set to make a remarkable comeback to management as managerless Leeds desperately search for a new boss.
The Whites have been without a manager since sacking Jesse Marsch.
The games since his sacking have seen the team led by a trio of coaches.
Academy coach Michael Skubala, supported by Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo, has been given the reins for the next two clashes against Everton and Southampton.
The previous two games they have taken charge of saw them draw and lose in a double-header to Manchester United.
Leeds have been rejected by a number of managers already.
These include West Brom coach Carlos Corberan, Feyenoord’s Arne Slot and Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola.
Redknapp’s last job football came with Birmingham City in 2017.
Since then he was voted King of the Jungle on “I’m a celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” and managed England for Soccer Aid.
