Former Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace striker Shefki Kuqi has reportedly applied for the vacant manager's position at Portsmouth.

The 38-year-old's only managerial role to date was an 11-month stint in charge of Finnish side FC Honka, which ended in December 2014.

Kuqi first arrived in English football in 2001 when he signed for Stockport County, and also went on to play for Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers and Swansea City.

The Finn would be interested in taking charge at Fratton Park, according to Sky Sports News.

Pompey are looking for a new boss following Andy Awford's departure by mutual consent on Monday.

Gary Waddock has taken caretaker charge of the League Two side until the end of the season.
