The former England captain Bryan Robson has "agreed in principal" to become the coach of Thailand's national team and will discuss terms next week, according to the country's football officials.
If the deal goes through, the former Middlesbrough, Bradford, WBA and Sheffield United manager would be given the task of steering the team to the 2014 World Cup finals, the Football Association of Thailand president Worawi Makudi said.
"Robson is interested and has agreed in principal to become our coach," Worawi said. "He wants to come and discuss the details in person. He's a big name and we think he could play a big part in improving Thai football."
Robson, 52, would replace fellow former England international Peter Reid, who parted company with the Thais on 9 September after less than a year in charge.
Reid's lucrative contract, reported to have been worth close to $1.6m a year and part-funded by the English FA, was terminated by mutual consent.
The Thailand FA rejected his request to coach the Thai side while serving as assistant manager at Premier League Stoke City.
