I snubbed Bhoys, confirms Coyle
Boyhood Hoops fan Coyle was the Glasgow giants' main target to replace Gordon Strachan in the summer - but signed a new contract with Burnley despite intense speculation linking him with the Parkhead job.[LNB]The former Republic of Ireland international confirmed on Monday he was offered the position at Celtic - and insists his decision to turn it down is proof he has not joined Bolton to boost his wage packet.[LNB]"I've never been motivated by money in my life," he said. "If it was finance I would have taken the job at Celtic in the summer. That is just a knee-jerk reaction from people that do not know me.[LNB]"I have an unbelievable challenge ahead here at this magnificent club, with a magnificent stadium, and I have to take that on.[LNB]"You want to be the best you can be and that's my motivation.[LNB]"I want to be involved at the highest level and the highest level in world football is the Premier League.[LNB]"There's no doubt about it, the best individual players in world football operate in the Premier League. You want to go and compete with the best in the business.[LNB]"Celtic were the team I supported as a boy and I spoke with Celtic in the summer.[LNB]"They offered me the job and I turned it down to stay at Burnley.[LNB]"I think that puts to bed anything about finances."[LNB][LNB]
