Portsmouth role a dream - Metgod

Metgod played for both Nottingham Forest and Spurs in the 1980s

Portsmouth first-team coach John Metgod has described his move back to English football as "a dream come true".

The former Nottingham Forest and Tottenham midfielder and Feyenoord coach was appointed as assistant to Tony Adams at Fratton Park last week.

Metgod, 50, told BBC Radio Solent: "People in Holland think Portsmouth isn't a big club, but it certainly is.

"This is a different world from Dutch football. It's a dream come true to be back on the training field in England."

"The opportunity to work at a big club, and to work with someone like Tony Adams was a chance I couldn't turn down.

"This is a real family club and everyone has made me feel very welcome from the first moment I arrived," he added.
