Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce back in football

Stuart Pearce is back in football.

The Nottingham Forest legend is coaching Portsmouth's defenders.

League One Pompey have turned to 'Psycho' to tighten up their defence, with manager Kenny Jackett saying Pearce regularly works with his defenders on the training ground.

"The centre-halves did some extra work with him, some heading and passing. He’s won a few caps!" he told the Portsmouth News.

"Stuart has been quite a regular here. He has his own busy career, a successful career, but he comes in and is quite keen and happy to fit in with wherever we need him.

"This morning it was working with the defenders.

"It was focused on heading, defensive clearances, getting out into the channels and passing.

"If you can do some individual work at some stage during the working week that’s good. 

"He has a very busy career, but has been reasonably regular down here around us."
