Andy Awford has left his position as Portsmouth boss after a season in charge of the League Two club. However, after a mixed campaign in which Pompey find themselves 14th in League Two, the 42 year old has left by mutual consent.

Assistant manager Gary Waddock has been placed in temporary charge until the end of the season with four games left of the current campaign.

In a statement Pompey said: "The club would like to place on record their sincere thanks for Andy's efforts - his service to Pompey is immeasurable.

"One of his most significant contributions was when he took charge of the team in March 2014 and steered the club to safety from the threat of relegation out of the Football League."

Awford's last game in charge was Saturday's 3-1 defeat by Morecambe.

"All parties have agreed that, after a natural break, further conversations will take place about the potential of Andy playing a further role within the football club," added the statement.
