Controversial: John Terry clashes with Anton Ferdinand in October

'The team is in the European Championships which is the most important thing, there are big favourites for the job and big expectancy regarding Harry's future, but it's up to the FA to decide.'

Redknapp's stock has risen again after taking Tottenham into the Champions League and then on above Chelsea this season.

Villas-Boas added: 'I would congratulate him for sure. He has had an outstanding career that was made even better through time with continuous success, and culminating a fantastic career with managing the national team would be outstanding.'

Terry, meanwhile, will miss Chelsea's match against Everton this weekend as he recovers from a knee injury, and has been given some extra time away from Cobham by the Blues boss.

'He has a couple of days off, but that is because of his injury, not the turmoil and the media,' Villas-Boas said.
