From the “hey, that name sounds familiar” department comes news that former Chelsea head coach (I know, there’s been plenty to remember and forget since The Special One) Avram Grant has taken over the role of Director of Football at Premiership Club Portsmouth, his first job since “leaving” Stamford Bridge.

Maybe someone should just pull current head coach Paul Hart’s car around front and make sure the seat warmer’s been turned on…..

The move, which follows the billionaire Saudi businessman Ali al-Faraj’s purchase of the club from Sulaiman al-Fahim, will involve Grant returning to the club where he worked as technical director in 2006. The new role will be his first job in football since he left Stamford Bridge last year.

Grant’s arrival will increase pressure on Paul Hart, whose future has been in doubt after the club lost their opening seven games of the season, the worst start in the competition’s history.

The Portsmouth goalkeeper David James welcomed the appointment. “I love Avram,” he said. “He’s a great guy. It’s a good move.”
