Steve Kean has been appointed as the club's coach until the end of the season.

The 43-year-old specialist will replace Sam Allardyce, who was unexpectedly dismissed a few weeks ago. Until then, he was working as one of the coaches.

It is reported that Kean will be able to spend around 5 million pounds on new footballers in January.
