The manager of Martin Petrov in Bolton Owen Coyle was dismissed from his post. Earlier today there were reports that the specialist will be fired, and several hours later this was confirmed with a special message on the official website of the team of the Championship.

"I have always tried to act in the best interest of the club and I have done it with a passion. I had a fantastic stay here as a player and was a real privilege for me to be manager of the club, "said Owen Coyle.

"I want to thank to the fans for the support which I received from the time when I returned. To the president Phil Garside and owner Eddie Davies for their support and friendship. Thanks also to all club staff and players for their efforts and dedication," said the specialist.

After dropping from the Premier League last season, Bolton currently occupies the unenviable 19th place in the Championship after the team failed to record just three wins in their first 10 games of the campaign.

Jimmy Phillips and Sammy Lee, who has so far worked in academia of Bolton will lead the first team on Saturday against Bristol City on "Reebok Stadium".
