Wigan confirm Maloney as new manager

Wigan Athletic have appointed former winger Shaun Maloney as their new boss on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The Latics are bottom of the Championship table and four points adrift of safety.

"I have amazing memories here and created some fabulous moments with teams and with fans, and I'm excited to get started," Maloney said.

"The feeling that I have from those times as a player is a big factor for me. I have been here previously and have always felt a great warmth from the supporters.

"I want the fans to see a team that is giving absolutely everything, fighting to get better and the supporters need to feel that. The connection is there, we just need to reawaken it."
