Bryan Robson, the former Manchester United and England captain, has resigned as Thailand's national team coach.

"Bryan wished to resign and his contract was terminated by mutual consent, but I cannot give any more details," said the president of the Thailand FA, Worawi Makudi.

Robson, capped 90 times by England, underwent surgery for throat cancer in March but said he was eager to resume his coaching duties.

He failed to make an impact as Thailand coach after replacing his compatriot Peter Reid in September 2009 and under his guidance the team dropped 15 places to 120th in the Fifa rankings.
