Wigan Athletic say they wish to make a "swift appointment" as their search to replace former head coach Ryan Lowe begins. The defeat meant Wigan dropped into the League One relegation zone after a seventh loss in their past 10 matches. "We believe in this squad of players, and collectively, we know that we are a better team than what our current league position suggests." "We would like to make a swift appointment to ensure the new Head Coach has the best possible opportunity to make the desired impact between now and the end of the 2025-26 season." Wigan, meanwhile, also confirmed that first-team coach Mike Garrity, who joined the club as part of Lowe's backroom staff only last month, has left the club.
