Wigan Athletic have appointed former Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool defender Kolo Toure as their new manager on a three-and-a-half year deal.
Toure had been working as a first-team coach for Leicester City since February 2019 prior to the announcement. The 41-year-old held talks with Latics earlier in November, with the club now confirming his move to the DW Stadium.
Leam Richardson, Wigan's former manager, was sacked by the Championship side on November 10 following a winless run spanning eight games. The 43-year-old's dismissal came just two weeks after he had signed a new three-year contract with the club.
