Portland are without a permanent manager after previous boss Callum Brooks quit last Sunday following a poor start to the new season.

Brooks (pictured) had only spent four months in the role after succeeding Brendon King.

Former Dorchester Town and Hamworthy United boss Brooks felt his position had become untenable.

Without a win this campaign, the islanders have been knocked out of all three cup competitions, collecting just one league point.

The Blues are pressing on through a transitional phase and the club has called upon the experienced Bailey, who led the club to three titles in his famed stint as boss.

Back in 2018, Bailey fulfilled the position of interim boss after the departure of Simon Browne.

Bailey will, however, have to juggle his work on the touchline with behind-the-scenes responsibilities as interim chairman.
