Harry Redknapp has been given the all-clear to resume managerial duties at Birmingham City following a cancer scare.
The Sun on Sunday reported that Redknapp, 70, needed emergency surgery to remove a tumour from his bladder after being urged to seek medical help by his wife Sandra.
Redknapp, who was appointed Birmingham boss in April and steered them to safety in the Championship, has been cleared to take preseason after test results came back negative.
The former Tottenham and West Ham boss told the paper: "I could feel it in my body -- I knew it wasn't right.
"This is the first time I've been properly worried. They cut it out, took it away, sent it away to make sure it is not malignant and luckily everything was OK. I know I am fortunate."
Redknapp said he now has to go for regular checks and added: "I am relaxed about it now because what can you do?
"When they had it all checked out they told me it would be OK. I have to go for checkups every three months now."
