Pompey role 'interests' Bilic
Slaven Bilic is 'very interested' in holding talks with Portsmouth over the club's vacant managerial position, according to the Croatia boss' agent.
Pompey are currently without a permanent head coach after temporary manager Paul Hart's deal expired at the end of last season.
The club are overseeing a period of change as prospective owner Sulaiman Al-Fahim is in a period of due diligence before his takeover at Fratton Park is completed.
A number of high-profile coaches have been linked with the post, including Sven Goran Eriksson, with Bilic's name the latest to be mentioned.
Bilic's agent, Rudi Vata, has now claimed the former West Ham defender would be keen to manage on the South Coast, despite the Croatian Football Federation being keen to hold onto his services.
Hungry
Vata, who recently suggested the Croatian could be set for Celtic, told The News: "Slaven is open to offers and there is interest from Portsmouth.
"There are different clubs who want him but he is very interested.
"Portsmouth have tried to get in touch, but there is no concrete offer at this stage.
"But the idea of working with and building the club would excite him.
"Slaven is hungry for the right club with the right ambition because he is a hungry manager. He is a person who sets high goals and wants to work hard to achieve them.
"There are going to be special things from him in the future."
