‘ Another manager sacked ‘

Wigan Athletic have sacked manager Leam Richardson after they lost six of their past seven games to fall into the Championship relegation zone.

The 42-year-old led the Latics to the League One title last season in his first full season in charge.

Richardson, who had only signed a new three-year deal last month, initially joined the club as assistant to Paul Cook in the summer of 2017.

Assistant Rob Kelly has been placed in caretaker charge.

Crazy situation gets them promoted now having difficult time gives 3 yr contract then sacks him 6wks later? Who would be a football manager today.... only bonus is the payoff? Theres more than one club going it total madness.
