Gallen set for Portsmouth role

Joe Gallen is set to link up with Kenny Jackett again, as assistant manager at Portsmouth.

Jackett has taken over as manager at Fratton Park from Paul Cook, who recently left for Wigan having guided Pompey to promotion to League One.

Gallen, from Acton, previously worked as Jackett’s assistant at Millwall, Wolves and more recently Rotherham.

They initially worked together at QPR, where Gallen was a youth coach and Jackett was assistant boss during Ian Holloway’s first spell as manager at Loftus Road.
