"Wigan Athletic have sacked manager Ryan Lowe after 11 months in charge following their 6-1 thrashing by Peterborough United on Saturday. The dismal defeat dropped the Latics into the relegation zone, with the club having won just once in their past 10 League One fixtures. They were 11th in the table when they beat Burton on 2 December, but are now 22nd, two points from safety, after 29 matches."
"Lowe, 47, was appointed as manager in March 2025 on a three-and-a-half-year contract. He succeeded Shaun Maloney, but the former Preston North End, Plymouth Argyle and Bury boss won just 12 out of his 49 games in charge. Peterborough hit struggling Wigan for six Wigan said Glenn Whelan and Graham Barrow will take charge of the first team on an interim basis while the club "will work quickly to identify and appoint" a new head coach."
