DUBAI: With the sun having set on a football career stretching from the Hackney Marshes to the hallowed grounds of the UEFA Champions League, former manager Harry Redknapp recently swapped a dark winter day in southern England for a balmy evening in the UAE to chat with Arab News about sport science and football in Saudi Arabia and the region. The 78-year-old Englishman, who counts managerial spells at West Ham, Tottenham and Portsmouth on his resume, was guest of honor at the launch of the London Sport Institute in Dubai, a new hub for sport science education and research.
