Owen Coyle has been appointed manager of English Premier League football side Bolton.
The club has confirmed the former Wanderers striker replaces Gary Megson, taking immediate charge of the team, although with this weekend's clash against Sunderland postponed, his first match will be against Arsenal next weekend.
The delay in confirming his appointment was largely due to Bolton's ongoing negotiations in thrashing out a compensation deal with Coyle's former club Burnley.
Coyle led Burnley into the top flight for the first time in 33 years after moving from St Johnstone in November 2007.
