Burnley has announced that manager Owen Coyle has had talks with Bolton about a possible move to its neighbor.

Bolton fired Gary Megson last Wednesday and Coyle, who guided Burnley to promotion to the Premier League last season, emerged as its top candidate to replace him.

The 43-year-old Scot, who spent two seasons at Bolton as a player, has been Burnley manager since November 2007.
