HARRY Redknapp has ruled himself out of the running to become the next Chelsea manager .

The Spurs boss has been linked with succeeding Andre Villas-Boas at Stamford Bridge after the Portuguese was axed by owner Roman Abramovich on Sunday.

But Redknapp, who has been touted as the next manager, insists he's not interested in the post.

When asked if he would consider the Chelsea job, Redknapp replied: "That's all I need!

"It would be difficult; I wouldn't be able to come back to north London so I'd have to pass on that.

"But it's a dream job for somebody.

"It's a club you can win a championship at because the owner has spared no expense.

"He has built the most incredible training ground, they buy players at the top level, they have got top players so it is a dream job for somebody to go there and make a success of it - whoever they take.

"So many people would love that job and chance to work at a great club with the backing the manager gets there, but you've got to make a success of it. That's the rules.

"If you don't you are not going to last but if you do well the sky's the limit.

"It's a great job for somebody."
