During the months of September, October and November, Wigan Athletic managed to win 1 league match. All of the other results besides that victory were either defeats or draws and this abysmal start of the season led to the head coach UweRosler getting sacked.
UweRosler was removed from his managerial position at Wigan Athletic after 12 months of having been appointed. The decision to replace Rosler with someone else arrived only 2 days after the chairman of the club Dave Welan publicly announced his support towards the German coach but his support did not last long after Wigan Athletic continued losing matches in the English Championship and falling into the relegation zone.
“There is nothing wrong with the manager. A good manager doesn’t become a bad manager overnight, and UweRösler is a good manager. There is no question over his ability. He’s solid. He’s just not getting enough from the players at the moment.
“I spoke with Uwe on Friday and I told him I was 100 per cent behind him. He needs support from everyone, and he will get it’’ Those were the words of the chairman of Wigan Athletic, Dave Whelan as he expressed his support to Rosler, Whelan released this statement around 1 week ago but a few days later Rosler was sacked.
It has been confirmed by Wigan Athletic that the assistant manager Graham Barrow will be taking charge of the squad until a new coach is appointed. Barrow is going to be assisted by the first team coach Erick Black.
Dave Whelan continued on saying that he believes this is the correct decision which will benefit the club but he is not happy when seeing the standings of the English Championship League and witnessing how his club Wigan Athletic has dropped into the relegation zone.
