The Queens Park Rangers boss will face his former employers for the first time since he was sacked at the end of last season.

Despite reviving Spurs' fortunes and finishing in the hallowed top-four twice in three years, the 65-year-old was let go in favour of a much younger Villas-Boas.

But Redknapp has no hard feelings towards Levy or Villas-Boas, saying: "If I see Daniel, I'll shake his hand, no problem.

"On the day I started at QPR, the first call I got was from Daniel wishing me luck.

"What's happened has happened and is in the past. He is the chairman, he decided he wanted a change of direction with regard to the manager and that's that.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Spurs but now my focus is to get three points for Rangers when we play them because we are in a lot of trouble at the bottom of the table."

While QPR are languishing at the foot of the table, Villas-Boas' side are enjoying a good season thus far and are firmly in the chase for UEFA Champions League qualification.

"It's business. All I want to do is win the game and then afterwards have a glass of wine with Andre if he fancies one," Redknapp added.

"Life does move on. That is football. I have not got a problem with anyone at Tottenham, for sure."
