Former Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill emerges as shock contender to take charge at Wigan

Former Bristol City double-winning manager Steve Cotterill is in the running to take the vacant position at Wigan, according to the bookmaker's odds.

The Latics are searching for a new boss after sacking Leam Richardson before the World Cup break following a run of seven matches without a win. Wigan dropped to 23rd in the Championship at the time of his dismissal.

His sacking also came less than two weeks after he signed a new three-year contract. Everton legend Duncan Ferguson remains the favourite following his interim spell in charge of the Toffees in 2019.
