Blackburn have appointed Owen Coyle as their new manager on a two-year deal.

Coyle told Blackburn's official website: "First and foremost I'm absolutely thrilled and honoured to be Blackburn Rovers manager and I look forward to working with terrific people at the club.

"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.
