HARRY Redknapp has left Tottenham after nearly four years.

The former Cherries boss agreed a severance package with chairman Daniel Levy last night.

Redknapp had just 12 months remaining on his current deal and was keen to sign a new contract that would see the North London club be his final job in management.

But Levy was understood to have only been prepared to offer the Londoner, who lives in Sandbanks, a 12-month rolling deal.

Everton’s David Moyes is favourite to follow Redknapp in the White Hart Lane hot-seat.

It brings to a head a difficult 12 months for the former Portsmouth boss.

Although he had previously led Spurs to the quarter-finals of the Champions League as well as two top-four finishes in the Premier League, the past year has seen Redknapp overlooked for the England job and go through a heart operation.

Then, in February, he was cleared of two charges of tax evasion following a 13-day trial.

Redknapp helped Spurs finish in the top-four again this term, but his side missed out on the Champions League after Chelsea’s final win over Bayern Munich last month.

Levy was said to have been left frustrated by that outcome, particularly as Spurs were 10 points clear in the Champions League places before a poor run of form at the end of the campaign cost them.

Redknapp’s critics suggested that run coincided with his public flirtation with the possibility of becoming England manager. Redknapp, though, denied that had an impact on the team’s results.

Yesterday's talks between Redknapp and Levy also involved the manager’s new agent Paul Stretford and Richard Bevan, the chief executive of the League Managers Association.

Everton, meanwhile, are bracing themselves for an approach, although the Premier League club remain confident Moyes will resist an offer.
