North End announce Ferguson's successor
Preston North End have confirmed the appointment of Phil Brown as their new manager.
Skysports.com broke the news that Brown had agreed to take charge at Deepdale, after he was interviewed earlier this week.
The 51-year-old has agreed an 18-month deal and brings in Brian Horton as his number two.
"Preston North End are a big club with great history and tradition and I am really looking forward to the challenge and opportunity," Brown told the club's official website.
"I would like to thank the chairman, owner and board of directors for putting their faith in me and whilst I know the current position is one we do not want to be in, I have every belief in the players' and my own ability to get us out of the situation we are in.
"The supporters of this football club are some of the most knowledgeable in the country and like them I want to see the club progress."
