Former Tottenham, West Ham and Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is back for his eighth Soccer Aid as the long-running charity match returns to Old Trafford.
Since being founded in 2006 by popstar Robbie Williams and presenter Jonathan Wilkes, Soccer Aid has become an annual favourite. Raising money for UNICEF UK, over £100million has been collected through the years, with over £15m raised last year alone.
England were the victorious party last time out, beating the World XI 6-3, with iconic former Premier League head coach Redknapp part of the management team. The I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner has been lending his expertise to the event since 2008, and as it returns to its spiritual home of Old Trafford in 2025, so does he.
Ahead of Soccer Aid 2025, we take a look at the life led by the King of the Jungle behind the scenes, including his net worth, admissions about his dear wife Sandra and a multi-million-pound mansion he once owned.
What is Harry Redknapp's net worth?
Before making his name as a charismatic and business-savvy manager, Redknapp enjoyed a long playing career for the likes of West Ham and Bournemouth.
He first took up a managerial position in 1983 with the Cherries and then the Hammers, before stints with Portsmouth, in the second of which he won the FA Cup.

At his next destination, White Hart Lane, he would guide Tottenham to the Champions League and win the Premier League Manager of the Year award in 2010.
Thanks to his many years as a top manager and from his various endorsements since heading into retirement, it is estimated that Redknapp's fortune stands at £13million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Who is Harry Redknapp's wife?
Redknapp wed his beloved Sandra at Barking Abbey church in 1968, having first met at the tender age of 17. Though they humorously admitted to getting their dates wrong when celebrating their 55th anniversary in 2022, only for it to be the 54th year they'd been together.
Nevertheless, the couple have been inseparable for over half a century, and, speaking to GB News three years ago, Redknapp swooningly admitted: "I'm so lucky to be married to Sandra. She's looked after me. She's my life, to be honest."

The former Premier League boss has also shed light on one reason why the pair's marriage has continued to last with such strength, as he penned in his and son Jamie's 2024 novel, A Family Obsession: "She's never been into football, she doesn't go to football.
"She didn't even go to watch me play, and it's been a great thing that she never got involved. I'd hate to have had her come home and have her saying, 'What did you do today? Why didn't you do that?' or whatever. I couldn't have stood that."
Harry Redknapp's Sandbanks home sold for millions
Both Redknapp and his wife Sandra have long called Bournemouth and the surrounding area home, and he became synonymous with the plush Dorset neighbourhood of Sandbanks when he moved into his first property there, a mock-Tudor mansion, in 2001.
This home, which the couple lived in for 13 years, was offloaded in 2015 for £6.9m to Topps Tiles founder and millionaire businessman Barry Bester, and was later sold for a Sandbanks record £10m in 2021.

Redknapp purchased a new property just down the road after selling up, and demolished it in 2023 to make way for a new upgrade. The pair relocated inland to the affluent suburb of Branksome Park on the back of the demolition, but are now set for a Sandbanks return after applications were finally approved to construct a five-bedroom luxury Italian villa.

The new mansion will overlook Brownsea Island nature reserve, feature a grand entrance hall and have a double garage. It is estimated to be worth £12m.
