MANILA (22 Feb 2010) – In a bid to make the cut for the main draw of the Asean Football Championship 2010, the Philippines Football Federation (PFF) have confirmed former Tottenham Hotspur manager Des Bulpin as their new head coach.
In spite of their array of foreign-based players, Philippines failed to make the cut for the last championship in 2008 after finishing third in the five-team qualifier which was held in Cambodia.
This year’s Asean Football Championship qualifying round has been scheduled for October.
Bulpin, who also had stint with Queens Park Rangers, Leicester and Stockport, has been handed an initial one-year deal.
“It’s a massive challenge, but we have to get on with it," Bulpin was quoted as saying.
“We have to organize the team that pressures other teams, plays a high tempo and moves the ball quickly.”
Bulpin had also been with the Uzbekistan national team previously.
I'm a football fan and a huge supporter of the game in the Philippines, where I was born.
I'm very happy to see that the Football Federation was able to secure the services of an experienced foreign coach.
Hopefully, he'll be able to turn around the fortunes of the national team and help them do well in the next FIFA Asian Football Qualifiers.
