The Thai League outfit, who were AFC Champions League runners-up in 2003, confirmed the news on Sunday evening.

The Manchester-born coach had been in the running for the Newcastle Jets top job recently, but missed out to Ernie Merrick.

Mulvey, 54, has been on the lookout for a job after a spell in Malaysia with Terengganu and Sabah.

The Bangkok-based club parted ways with coach Uthai Boonmoh last week after barely four months in the job, with the side losing form and sitting midtable.

Mulvey's appointment was swift with the club, who merged with Police United in the off-season, looking to recreate their glory days of the early 2000s when they won two Thai titles.

There's some familiar faces for Mulvey in Thailand, with former Brisbane Roar defender Matt Smith currently the captain of Bangkok Glass.

Former Socceroo and ex-Adelaide United boss Aurelio Vidmar is Bangkok Glass' head coach too.

Another ex-Roar man Henrique currently plies his trade with Chiangrai United, while A-League journeyman Isaka Cernak is with struggling Sisaket.

Mulvey left the A-League in November 2014, sacked as Brisbane Roar coach barely six months after winning the domestic double.
