Harry Redknapp Faces Backlash for Nazi Salute Gesture and 'German Spy' Remark About Thomas Tuchel

The former England manager has yet to comment on the leaked footage from a London charity event, which has reignited debates over cultural sensitivities in football.

Harry Redknapp was filmed calling England manager Thomas Tuchel a 'German spy' and performing a gesture resembling a Nazi salute at a London charity event last week.
The footage, published by The Guardian on March 27, shows Redknapp joking that Tuchel was sent to 'ruin' the England team and referencing World War II figure Lord Haw-Haw.
The comments and gesture were met with laughter and applause from the audience, but have since drawn widespread criticism for their offensive historical references.
Redknapp, 78, has declined to comment on the incident, which occurred before Tuchel led England to two victories in his first matches as manager.
Tuchel, the first German to manage the England men’s team, remains focused on his role, while the controversy has reignited discussions about foreign appointments in English football.
