Post-retirement
Mortensen was Blackpool manager from 1967 to 1969.
On 20 October 1983, at the Blackpool supporters' annual general meeting, Mortensen was voted vice-president.
On 18 November 1989, Mortensen led the Blackpool team out onto the Bloomfield Road pitch for their FA Cup first-round tie with Bolton. Former Wanderers forward, Nat Lofthouse, who faced Mortensen and Blackpool in the 1953 FA Cup final, led the visitors out.
Twelve days later, on 30 November, a tribute dinner for Mortensen was held at Blackpool's Savoy Hotel. Attended by many former Blackpool players, the event was arranged to honour Morty's fifty years of service to both Blackpool Football Club and the town.
