Phil Brown (born 30 May 1959) is an English former professional footballer, coach and current manager, who most recently managed Indian Super League side Hyderabad FC. As a player, Brown was a right-back who made over six hundred league appearances in an eighteen-year career, but never made it to the top flight. However, as a manager, he became the first to lead Hull City to the top division in their 104-year history, winning the Championship play-offs in 2008 after a 1–0 win against Bristol City at Wembley.
