Irvine signs three-and-a-half year deal
Preston have confirmed Alan Irvine has agreed to become their new manager.
Irvine has left his role as David Moyes' assistant at Everton to make the move to Deepdale.
The 49-year-old, who has agreed a three-and-a-half year deal at Preston, replaces Paul Simpson at the Championship strugglers following his sacking last week.
North End chairman Derek Shaw was delighted to name Irvine as the club's new manager.
Reputation
"We are very pleased that Alan will be joining us, he's ready to have a crack at management.
"He's got a reputation of being a top notch coach, his work ethic is amazing, he's worked with David Moyes and I know the amount of games they take in, you see them all over the country.
"David Moyes and Alan Irvine have set high standards at Everton and I'm pretty sure that Alan will continue to maintain those high standards at Deepdale."
