Bond, Kevin Bond

Harry Redknapp has confirmed Kevin Bond as his Assistant Manager at Birmingham City.

The 59-year-old worked with Redknapp previously at Tottenham, Portsmouth and QPR and has been the manager of Hong Kong Pegasus since November.

Bond replaced Steve Cotterill who declined the position on a permanent basis after playing a part in Blues’ survival last season.

Redknapp told Talksport – ‘Kevin Bond is coming with me. Kevin was with me at Portsmouth when we got promoted, Tottenham? he`s been everywhere with me’.

He continued – “He`s been out managing a team in Hong Kong doing a fantastic job out there – he`s won both the cups – and he`s come back and I`m delighted to have him with me – I think he’s brilliant’.
