Chennai, Dec 4 (IANS) Indian Super League (ISL) franchise Chennayin FC on Wednesday announced Scotsman Owen Coyle as their new head coach. Coyle, a former English Premier League manager with Burnley and Bolton Wanderers, has joined Chennayin FC on a contract till the end of the season.

“I am incredibly proud to join Chennaiyin FC as head coach. It will be my immense privilege to join a club with so much success already in its early history with two ISL titles,” said Coyle in an official statement.

“I believe we possess a squad with great potential and the hunger to do well, complimented by an ardent fan base always backing us. I can’t wait to get started.”

Last month, Chennaiyin had sacked its head coach John Gregory following a poor run in the ongoing season of the ISL.

Coyle’s journey with Chennaiyin begins with a challenging trip to Jamshedpur FC on December 9 at the JRD Tata Sports Complex.
