Paul Hart has been confirmed as Portsmouth manager until the end of the season.
Brian Kidd will remain as assistant manager/first team coach.
The decision was made ahead of last night's 1-0 defeat by Chelsea - Hart's first defeat since being initially handed the role on a caretaker basis.
Hart and Kidd have guided Portsmouth to a win, a draw and a defeat from their three games in charge.
Executive chairman Peter Storrie told the Portsmouth official website, www.portsmouthfc.co.uk: '(Owner) Sacha (Gaydamak) and I have been delighted with how the team have fared under Paul and Brian's control.
'They both have so much experience in the game and they have the respect of the players.
'We will review the managerial situation again at the end of the season.'
