Peter Reid has joined Stoke City as assistant manager after leaving his role as Thailand coach, the Premier League club has said.

The Thailand Football Association had on Wednesday rejected former Sunderland manager Reid's request to agree a dual working role with Stoke and the Thai national team.

Reid, who lost just two of his 13 competitive games in charge of Thailand, had already been helping Stoke manager Tony Pulis in training and at games.
