Portsmouth FC's skipper Marlon Pack believes the club should be prepared for summer interest in manager John Mousinho. Pack has been impressed by Mousinho's work at Fratton Park, where he has delivered a magnificent job in three-and-a-half years. The 40-year-old manager has given no indication he wants to leave Portsmouth, despite being linked with vacancies at Watford, Sheffield Wednesday, and Leicester City. Mousinho is contracted for another two years after signing his most recent deal in September 2024. Pack feels it's inevitable there will be approaches for the highly-regarded head coach this summer. He told The News: 'I have probably run out of superlatives in terms of the gaffer as a person and what he has done for this football club.' Pack added that Mousinho is loved by everyone at the club and is a huge reason for Portsmouth's success. The Blues have gone from strength to strength under Mousinho, capturing the League One title and overseeing two successful Championship relegation battles. Pack is eager to continue serving his boyhood club under Mousinho, who made him Pompey captain in January 2023. Mousinho's ability to find solutions to win games has impressed Pack, who has played with him at Wycombe 13 years ago. The Portsmouth manager's playing preference is clear, but he is constantly evolving to find a solution to a game. Pack's comments come after Mousinho spoke to The News on Saturday, expressing his encouragement with recent discussions with owners Tornante over the club's direction. Mousinho had previously raised questions about the owners' ambition, but now feels positive about the club's future. With summer approaching, Pack expects there to be interest in Mousinho from other clubs. He believes the manager deserves to be complimented and have admirers due to his magnificent job at Portsmouth. The club's success under Mousinho is no coincidence, and Pack feels lucky to have him as the manager. As the summer transfer window opens, Portsmouth will be bracing themselves for potential interest in their highly-regarded manager.
