Pompey beat Cardiff City 1-0 at Wembley last weekend to provide Redknapp with the challenge of European football next season.

Redknapp is looking forward to the future at Fratton Park after being courted by Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur during the season.

The former West Ham United manager was tempted by the offers he received, but admits any future efforts to entice him away from the South Coast will end in failure.

"Any unfulfilled dreams I have left in football can be achieved here," Redknapp said.

sleepless night

"I turned down two exceptional offers in the last 12 months and that was a clear indication of where my heart and mind was. It wouldn't make an ounce of difference who came in for me now. This is where I belong and this is where I want to finish.

"It would have been easy to walk away in the past year and I don't think anyone would have had any real complaints. But, as tempting as the offers were, I couldn't have lived with myself. There would have been a massive sense of betrayal.

"I had to take everything into consideration and I can't deny it led to more than the odd sleepless night. But this is my team and my club and I don't want to stop at winning the FA Cup, I want to build and move on."
