Oxford United can confirm the departure of John Mousinho who has left the club to become Head Coach at Portsmouth.
John spent five years with the U’s after joining from Burton Albion in 2017. During that time he made over 100 appearances, captained the side and then took on a dual role in which he joined the coaching staff as well as providing defensive cover as a player.
Boss Karl Robinson echoed the sentiments of all at the club when he told us
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for Mous and he leaves with our thanks and best wishes for the future. He has been an outstanding servant to our club and he will remain a friend to us all.
“He has made no secret of his wish to step up and become a Manager, we have helped him along his career path like we do with all of our staff, and and he is joining a great club where I am sure he will do well. We look forward to seeing him again later in the season when we play Portsmouth and I know he will get a tremendous welcome back from the fans.”
