Philippines have named Rangers legend Terry Butcher as new coach.

Butcher, who is currently in Russia for media duties at the World Cup, has not been in management since October 2015.

The 59-year-old has been given the task of leading the Philippines, ranked 115th in the world, ahead of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.

Butcher succeeds Thomas Dooley, whose contract expired in March, ahead of the Cup which begins in January.

The Philippines face China, South Korea and Kyrgyzstan in the group stages of the tournament.
