Tottenham came close to winning the Premier League twice in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, but a chance to win their first league title since 1960-61, was thwarted by Leicester and Chelsea respectively.
It has also been a year since their miracle Champions League comeback against Ajax which sent them into the final of the competition for the very first time in the club’s history.
Pochettino was replaced by Mourinho last November despite the Argentine coach taking them the closest they have been in many years to winning anything.
Mourinho was brought to the helm to steady the ship, but Tottenham – albeit being hit with injuries to key players – were knocked out of the FA Cup and Champions League, and currently sit eighth on the league table, seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Redknapp, who managed Spurs from 2008-2012, has admitted Tottenham are currently further away from winning anything than they have been in years.
The Englishman said: “A couple of years ago I looked at them when they had Kyle Walker at right-back, who was absolutely flying, and Danny Rose at left-back.”
“You looked at that team, Christian Eriksen was playing, Mousa Dembele too.”
“They really did look good. I thought they were a Premier League-winning team in the next year or two.”
“I look at them now and I don’t see them anywhere near that, to be truthful.”
“They have still got Harry Kane and they have still got good players but they’re nowhere near.”
“They’ve got Dele Alli too but they’re nowhere near where they were.”
“In my opinion three or four years ago when they should have won something under Mauricio Pochettino.”
