Owen Coyle is regarded as favourite for the vacant manager's job at Motherwell.
Scotland on Sunday says St Johnstone manager Coyle is understood to be keen on a switch to the SPL side after missing out on promotion with the Perth club on the final day of last season. The Fir Park club see media friendly former player Coyle, a popular figure with their supporters during a profitable stint in the 1990s, as the perfect fit.
