Former Burnley and Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has reportedly agreed to become the new head coach of Major League Soccer franchise Houston Dynamo.

Houston are searching for a new coach after parting company with Dominic Kinnear, who left the club to take charge of the San Jose Earthquakes.

Coyle has been out of football management since leaving Wigan Athletic a year ago, just six months into his contract with the Championship club.

According to Sky Sports News, the Scot will return to the dugout after agreeing a three-year deal with Houston.

Houston finished eighth in the Eastern Conference last season.
