Owen Coyle has been appointed the new head coach of MLS side Houston Dynamo.
The Scot has been out of work since he left Championship outfit Wigan Athletic in December 2013.
However, following discussions with Dynamo officials, the former Burnley and Bolton Wanderers boss has returned to the game.
"First and foremost I'm thankful for the opportunity to come to the Houston Dynamo. It's nice to be wanted by a fantastic club and I feel we have a great opportunity to put a team on the pitch that is pleasing on the eye and can win games," the 48-year-old told reporters.
"I've been watching Houston Dynamo for many years and I know the atmosphere of the supporters. The league is thriving and the opportunity to join a big club like the Dynamo is very exciting for me."
Coyle will begin work early next year, with the new MLS season due to get underway in March.
