Blackburn have appointed Owen Coyle as their new manager on a two-year deal.
Former Burnley and Bolton boss Coyle, who left MLS side Houston Dynamo by mutual consent last month, will work alongside Alan Irvine and Rob Kelly.
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."
