Avram Grant keen on Portsmouth job

Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant is desperate to return to English football and hinted he would happily fill the vacancy as Portsmouth boss, The Daily Mirror reported.

When asked whether he thought he could return to manage in the Premier League, the 53-year-old Grant said: “It is my first priority, but in life you don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Portsmouth are a fantastic club”.

He was director of football at Fratton Park before he took over at Chelsea and has been linked with a return to the South Coast club. “I really enjoyed being there and I have a lot of friends there, too.”
