Hide AdChansiri said: "He is the best choice. We looked at his CV and he did very well with Birmingham and other clubs and I think he can do well.
"Many managers sent their CV to us in July when Steve Bruce left and I talked to some in July before I went to America.
"I think he is ambitious with positive ideas and I believe he is hungry to be a success.
"I need to thank Lee Bullen during his time as caretaker. He did quite well, that is why I am happy that he took over. He will still an assistant."
The Thai owner has set his sights on promotion.
"I have always said since my first year that I never think about play-offs," he said. "I always think about top two."
