The Blues boss, who replaced Paul Cook in the Fratton Park hot seat in 2017, spent six years in charge of Millwall after being appointed manager in 2007.
The 57-year-old guided the Lions to League One promotion through the play-offs in 2009.
He also led the club to the FA Cup semi-final in 2013, where they lost to eventual winners Wigan at Wembley.

A return of just two league wins from eight matches has left the Blues 19th in the table.
The same was also heard during the first half of the win over Bolton last time out.
