Steve Kean has been fairly anonymous in the football world since resigning as Blackburn manager just over a year ago.
But the ex-Rovers boss will take charge of Singaporean side Brunei DPMM in 2014, according to the club's website.
Kean, formerly assistant to Sam Allardyce at Ewood Park, had an unsuccessful two years in charge in Lancashire, getting the club relegated in his first full season.
Brought in by the Venky family at Blackburn, Kean was largely unpopular with the club's fanbase, who regularly boycotted games in an attempt to change management.
The 48-year-old remained in charge even after the relegation from the Premier League though, eventually leaving the club sitting pretty in third in the Championship.
He had been linked with Millwall and Bury in recent months.
The S-League's current season finishes in November, with DPMM looking like they will avoid relegation this year.
Brunei have had a history of success though, winning the League Cup in 2012 under former boss, Croatian Verjan Simunic.
