Harry Redknapp has made his first coaching appointment at Tottenham by bringing in his former Portsmouth and Southampton assistant Kevin Bond.

Redknapp, who left Fratton Park to take over at Spurs over the weekend, has also confirmed he still intends to return to Portsmouth tomorrow to receive the freedom of the city.

The 61-year-old was granted the civic accolade after guiding Portsmouth to FA Cup success last season.

Redknapp arrived at Tottenham's training ground with Bond this morning for a session with the players.

Bond was most recently Bournemouth manager but was sacked in September.

Redknapp would not reveal who else he intends to join his coaching staff but admitted he does admire former Spurs captain Tim Sherwood.

Redknapp said: "Kevin Bond has joined me."

He added: "There are a couple of lads who have been here who I spoke to about joining us as well. We will wait and see what happens with that one. I like Tim, I think he is very knowledgeable and great on the game."
