He was dismissed after four years in charge at Tottenham on Wednesday evening, and said: "You cannot sit around moping. That's not my game.
"I love football. I would suit any job. I don't think I am coming to the end of my career.
"Alex Ferguson is in his seventies and is still the best manager in the world. I am as fit as a fiddle."
Redknapp had a year left on his contract at White Hart Lane but the 65-year-old explained that chairman Daniel Levy felt it was time for a fresh start after Spurs's end-of-season slump.
"What has happened is that I met with the chairman and the club decided to go in a different direction," he said. "That's their decision.
"I have had four fantastic years at Tottenham and have absolutely loved every minute. It couldn't have gone better for me."
The former Portsmouth and West Ham boss led Tottenham to a fourth-place finish in 2009/10 to seal their first ever appearance in the Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals in 2010/11.
Spurs were briefly in contention for the Premier League title last season before finishing fourth again, although Chelsea's victory in the Champions League final denied them a place in next season's competition.
