Shaun Maloney is the frontrunner to take over at Wigan Athletic after former Celtic star Kolo Toure was booted out the door following just two months in charge.
A run of nine games without a victory in all competitions has found Toure abruptly end to his spell as manager at the DW Stadium. The former Celtic and Manchester City defender was in the Wigan dugout for just nine games and failed to record a win.
Now Wigan Today say that the crisis club are set to turn to Maloney who is highly revered among their supporters after four very successful years as a player that included the sensational FA Cup triumph over Manchester City in 2013. It would be the young manager's second full managerial post after the failed experiment at Hibs.
