Steve 10,227 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Portsmouth have confirmed Avram Grant has returned to the club as director of football. Sky Sports News revealed earlier that Grant was in talks with Pompey and now they have confirmed his return to Fratton Park.Grant served in that role for just over 12 months alongside former manager Harry Redknapp before he departed for Chelsea in 2007.Grant eventually became Chelsea manager, succeeding Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge, and he guided the Blues to the UEFA Champions League final where they lost to Manchester United on penalties.He left Chelsea soon after defeat in Moscow and he has not worked in football since, despite numerous links to jobs at both domestic and international level.But less than 48 hours after Ali Al-Faraj took over from Sulaiman Al-Fahim, he has made his first major appointment by bringing in Grant.Grant, who has signed a three-year contract with the South Coast club, revealed his delight at returning to Portsmouth."I am happy to return to the best league in the world, the English league," he told Israeli website One.sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
