Burnley chairman Barry Kilby will hold talks with Owen Coyle tonight after the club confirmed the Scot had been in talks with Bolton over their vacant managerial position.
Coyle has been strongly linked with the job at the Reebok Stadium - but Kilby will meet with Coyle when he returns from a break in Scotland this evening.
A club statement read: "Burnley Football Club can now confirm that manager Owen Coyle has held discussions with Bolton Wanderers FC over the vacant manager’s position at the Reebok Stadium.
"Burnley Football Club chairman Barry Kilby will now meet with Coyle to discuss his future at Turf Moor.
"This will take place following Coyle’s return from Scotland tonight (Monday).
"Burnley Football Club will not make any further comment at this time."
