Rovers have a fierce rivalry with their East Lancashire neighbours Burnley and Coyle has previously managed the Clarets, as well as Bolton and Wigan.Within hours of his appointment, Blackburn fans launched a petition calling for his dismissal - although the fans say they are more concerned about his managerial record than the time he spent at Burnley. Coyle has signed a two-year deal at Blackburn (picture courtesy of Blackburn Rovers FC) Asked about the hostile response his appointment had generated, Coyle told Sky Sports News HQ: I understand that. It is an intense rivalry between the local clubs, that goes without saying.I am from Glasgow and grew up a Glasgow Celtic supporter but I can assure you that, whatever team I played for, whatever team I have managed, I have poured my heart and my soul into the job, and that is what I will do here at Blackburn Rovers.I certainly understand their opinion and I accept it for what it is. But I know that the job for us is to get a team on the field here that can win and be pleasing on the eye and give the Blackburn Rovers supporters something to genuinely shout about.

I think whatever club you come into, there are always an element of fans you have to win over. Given the rivalry it might be more so here, and I have got no problem with that.The biggest single thing is the club. Players, managers come and go, the one constant is the supporters, and I certainly understand the onus is on myself and my staff to put a team on the field that will have the fans saying I really enjoy watching that team, Im proud of that team.I know I cannot walk in here and everything will be really smooth, that is the nature of the rivalry.What I also know is we will leave no stone unturned to give this fantastic fanbase a team they can be proud of.
