Steve Kean will remain in charge of Blackburn Rovers until the end of the season, the club has confirmed.
First-team coach Kean was placed in charge just over a week ago after owners Venky’s surprisingly sacked Sam Allardyce and his assistant, Neil McDonald.
Glaswegian Kean, 43, is keen to become full-time manager at Ewood Park and now has just over four months to put himself in the running for the position.
A statement on the club’s official website read: “Following the departure of Mr Sam Allardyce as football manager of Blackburn Rovers football club earlier this month, Mr Steve Kean was appointed as manager.
“Venky's London Limited - Blackburn Rovers - has decided to continue with Mr Steve Kean as manager, until the end of the season, June 2011.”
