Wigan Athletic appoint Gary Caldwell as manager for second time

Wigan Athletic have appointed Gary Caldwell as head coach for the second time.

Caldwell, 43, has been in charge at Exeter City since 2022 but returns to the club where he spent six seasons as a player and 18 months in the dugout from April 2015.

In his first spell, Caldwell could not prevent the Latics being relegated to League One but brought them back to the Championship as champions in 2016.

He was, however, sacked in October of that year following a poor start to the season.

Caldwell went on to have spells at Chesterfield and Partick Thistle before taking charge of Exeter, racking up 180 games in charge at St James Park.

Wigan, who were beaten 4-0 by Arsenal in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, have been without a permanent manager since parting company with Ryan Lowe on 7 February.

Caldwell inherits a side who are without a league win in eight games, having lost the last four, and are 22nd in the League One table, a point from safety.
