Dougie Freedman was today confirmed as Bolton manager.
The Scot left Crystal Palace on Tuesday and replaces Owen Coyle, who was sacked earlier this month.
Freedman, who has signed a three-year deal at the Reebok, said: “The club are geared up to getting back into the Premier League.
“There is an impressive set-up and structure in place and a first-team squad of undoubted quality. I am excited about the challenge ahead of us.”
Chairman Phil Gartside said: “Dougie is young and ambitious. When we met his enthusiasm and knowledge of the game was evident. He has a real drive and passion and knows what we want to achieve and how we want to go about it. I am looking forward to working with him to secure that.”
Bolton are currently 16th in the Championship and travel to Middlesbrough on Saturday.
