Hart, 56, replaced Tony Adams in February when only goal difference separated Portsmouth from the relegation zone and he helped guide the club to Premier League safety.

Al Fahim said: "Paul did a great job keeping the team in the Premier League last season and, having previously worked as director of youth operations, he knows the club inside out."

He added: "He has immense experience and a great knowledge of the game and commands the respect of the players. I'm looking forward to working with him."

Hart, who joined Pompey in 2007, said: "Portsmouth are a fantastic club and it's a great honour for me to be manager.

"The players responded brilliantly to the challenge when I was handed the role last season and I'm looking forward to continuing that relationship as we prepare for our seventh straight season in the Premier League."
