Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle has insisted that “there will be no tension” with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger when the sides face each other this weekend.
The Premier League managers reportedly disputed the valuation of Bolton defender Gary Cahill during the Gunners pursuit of the England international in the summer.
Despite the public disagreement, the Scotsman insists that he has nothing but respect for the 61-year-old.
“I am a huge admirer of Arsene Wenger,” The Daily Mail quotes Coyle as saying. “I have come up against him many times and there will be no tension.
“I feel he is the perfect fit for Arsenal though, given their history and tradition and the way they have evolved over the years.”
The two sides go head to head at the Emirates on Saturday.
