Blackburn Rovers confirm appointment of ex-Burnley boss Owen Coyle as new manager

By , Reporter
Championship side Blackburn Rovers confirm the appointment of former Burnley and Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle as their new manager on a two-year deal.

Championship side Blackburn Rovers have appointed Owen Coyle as their new manager.

The former Burnley and Bolton Wanderers boss takes charge at Ewood Park after signing a two-year-deal.

"I am absolutely thrilled and honoured to be Blackburn Rovers manager and I look forward to working with terrific people at the club," Coyle told reporters at a press conference.

"The ultimate aim is to give a team that is representative of the fans, a team that is entertaining and hard working, and a team that can win."

Coyle returned to Britain last week after two years in Major League Soccer, where he managed Texas outfit Houston Dynamo.
