'Everyone can be proud' - Mousinho

In his second full season in management, John Mousinho has guided Portsmouth to a 16th place finish

Portsmouth boss John Mousinho has said that everyone at the club "can be proud" after a successful season in the Championship.

A draw against Hull City on Saturday marked the end of their first season back in the second tier since 2012.

In his first full season in management, Mousinho won the league One title, and in the second, his side secured a 16th placed finish in the Championship.

They were confirmed as safe with two games to spare, and ended the season with some strong results.

"It was important to stay unbeaten towards the back end of the season and five unbeaten is a good return." Mousinho told BBC Radio Solent.

"The performance today was awful for 20 minutes but I guess some of it can be expected.

"The progress this season is a really good sign of where we are as a club and a fantastic achievement - everyone can be very proud of what we have done.

"But football doesn't wait for anyone, we have to go again, but for now we can take a break from the relentlessness."
