Former Arsenal and Manchester City star Kolo Toure is set to become the new manager of Wigan Athletic just days after his brother Yaya apparently turned down the same role.
Since retiring in 2017, the former Liverpool star has been part of Brendan Rodgers' coaching ticket at both Celtic and Leicester City. However, Toure is now close to making his first foray into management with the Championship side.
Wigan chairman Talal Al Hammad had jetted into London to finalise a deal for the 41-year-old after sacking Leam Richardson, who was dismissed last week following a run of eight games without a win. Earlier this afternoon, Wigan confirmed that Toure would take over from Richardson as manager.
