\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have Owen back in Chennaiyin colours. Owen is no stranger to India and we\u2019ve all seen what he can do here. He\u2019s the right man to lead our young team forward and we\u2019re glad to have him back home,\u201d Chennaiyin co-owner Vita Dani commented.<\/p>\n

The 57-year-old won the ISL League Shield with Jamshedpur FC in 2021-22 with 43 points which was the highest at the time in the history of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he coached Queen\u2019s Park Football Club in the second tier of Scottish football and guided them to a third-place finish in the league stage, helping them qualify for the promotion playoffs to the Scottish Premier Division.<\/p>\n

An excited Coyle said, \u201cReally excited to be back at Chennaiyin FC. It was a wonderful experience the last time. The club has had fantastic success and we want to try and replicate that. It\u2019s going to be tough; we know that but we all love the challenge of that in football. I\u2019m excited to replicate the successes that the club had previously for our wonderful fans and I look forward to seeing them soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a player, Coyle had a long and successful career as a striker. Besides featuring in the EPL, he also played for clubs like Dundee United and Motherwell in the Scottish Premier League. He has more than 300 goals to his name.<\/p>\n
