Frank Lampard feels for his uncle Harry Redknapp after he was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur in the wake of their failure to qualify for the Champions League.

Frank Lampard has said that Chelsea's Champions League win is bittersweet for him, as his uncle Harry Redknapp was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur in the wake of their failure to qualify for next season's tournament.

Spurs missed out because Chelsea finished outside the top four in the Premier League to qualify as winners, and Lampard told The Sun that he felt some guilt about Redknapp's dismissal.

"I feel really bad for Harry, especially as my biggest success in football turned out so unlucky for him," he said.

"He deserved Champions League football. He and Spurs finished fourth. That's why I'm still shell-shocked by what's happened."

Andre Villas-Boas has reportedly been offered the Spurs job.
