Portmouth Appoint Awford

Portsmouth FC have confirmed the appointment of Andy Awford as their manager on a 1 year rolling contract.

Pompey have been on a great run of form since he was appointed in March, which included a 5 game run of wins. Enough to secure their football league status ahead of the finale of the season.

Awford on his appointments has said:-

It is with huge pride that I am delighted to accept the board’s offer to be the new manager of Portsmouth Football Club.

I have accepted the offer as I feel the club is, after a year of laying strong financial foundations, now in a position to look ahead, move forward, go from strength to strength and achieve the stability it craves.

I genuinely believe that the club is now ready to progress and the opportunity to lead it is a challenge that I relish and am absolutely committed to.

The rebuild won’t be quick and simple, as unfortunately we are still hindered by the recent past, but the board have assured me that brick-by-brick, day-by-day, month-by-month, year-by-year, we will continue the good work that has been done this season and build a football club that we can all be very proud of for years to come.

I am honoured, excited and thrilled to be given the job and look forward to us all working together for the good of Portsmouth Football Club.
