FORMER BOLTON AND Wigan manager Owen Coyle is in Houston for talks about becoming the Dynamo’s new coach.
The Scot has been without a managerial job since leaving Wigan in December 2013, but looks set to take over at the MLS side.
Dominic Kinnear resigned as Dynamo coach in October before being announced as the San Jose Earthquakes’ new boss.
Coyle told the Houston Chronicle there was nothing to confirm, but said he was in the city for talks. Sky Sports, meanwhile, are reporting that the parties have come to an agreement.
“We’re going to have a chat again and see where we go from there,” Coyle said.
“There’s nothing, as they say, confirmed in any respect. But there’s no getting away that it’s a wonderful opportunity for a coach to come into a wonderful club and try to move things on.”
The Dynamo finished eighth in the Eastern Conference in 2014, winning just 11 of their 34 matches.

who cares gridiron isnt wanted here
Ignoring the irony of you reading a story about a sport you allegedly don’t care about, it’s worth pointing out that, to a growing number of people, it is very much wanted here.
Exhibit A: The 50k people who turned up in the Aviva last September to watch a college football game.
Exhibit B: The GAA and others extensive moves to get an NFL game played in Croke Park.
Exhibit C: The Irish American Football League has a record number of teams and players taking part this year.
But you don’t like it David, so obviously nobody else in the country does.
