Uwe Rosler arrived to Wigan Athletic on December of 2013 as he was selected as the man to replace the former coach of Wigan Roberto Martinez and achieve the primary objective of returning Wigan Athletic to the Premier League.
The German manager managed to end his debut season in charge of Wigan Athletic by capturing the 5th spot in the Championship but ultimately failed to earn a promotion spot to the Premier League after losing in the play-off match against Queens Park Rangers but it still was a fairly impressive and successful season for Rosler as he was just going through his first season as the coach of the English club.
In this new season of the Championship League; Wigan is struggling just trying to survive having only collected 8 points out of the 7 opening matches of the season which they have played so far.
The Championship League only started a few weeks ago which means that Uwe Rosler has enough time to recover from their recent string of losses but the German manager believes that it will be tough for Wigan to pick up positive results due to the financial gap that exists between certain clubs.
“The transfer market is destroyed this year, in terms of the money that has been paid for certain positions. We have a strong team but where we lack is up front so we need to strengthen in that area. It’s not easy, especially when you’re driving a football club in a responsible way like we do. We have less income than last year and we have to adapt more and more to life in the Championship, but still push to win promotion. When you pay £11m for a striker and £5m for a League One striker, it’s very difficult for a club like Wigan to compete at that level’’ Wigan Athletic’s Uwe Rosler told the media.
