Blackburn manager Steve Kean is very pleased to have been given a long term contract at Rovers, which he signed on Thursday. Kean is now in charge of things until 2013 after initially taking over on a temporary basis after Sam Allardyce was sacked in December. However, club owner Anuradha Desai signalled her intention to give Kean a long-term deal earlier this month, and has now delivered. "I am delighted to commit my future to Rovers at the start of what I see as a massively exciting new era for the club," Kean told the club's website. "The owners have shown great faith in me and I will do all I can to repay them. "This is a great opportunity for me and I intend to grasp it with both hands."
