Wigan Athletic wamemteua beki wa zamani wa Ivory Caost, Arsenal na Manchester City, Kolo Toure kuwa meneja wao mpya kwa mkataba wa miaka mitatu na nusu. Mchezaji huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 41 anachukua nafasi ya Leam Richardson baada ya kutimuliwa na klabu hiyo ya Championship mapema mwezi huu. Raia huyo wa Ivory Coast ametumia miaka mitano iliyopita kufundisha Celtic na Leicester City chini ya Brendan Rodgers. ======================= Toure's first game in charge will be the trip to Millwall on 10 December. Wigan are 22nd in the table, but won their last game against Blackpool before the break for the World Cup. "We are delighted that Kolo has become the new manager of Wigan Athletic Football Club, and the board are pleased that he is the man to take us forward," chief executive Malachy Brannigan told the club website. "We received a high calibre of applicants for the manager's job in recent weeks, in a very thorough recruitment process as we looked to appoint the right person for the role. "From the earliest of conversations we had with Kolo, it was evident to us that he had instantly bought into the values of the club - with his enthusiasm, knowledge and immense desire to work and be part of Wigan Athletic shining throughout the process." Wigan sacked Richardson after a return of one point from seven Championship matches, having only given him a new three-year contract on 25 October following their League One title in his first full season in charge in 2021-22. Toure's younger brother, Yaya, who is coaching at Tottenham, had ruled himself out of contention for the Latics role two weeks ago. Toure was part of the Arsenal's 'Invincibles' side which won Premier League undefeated in 2003-04 and also won the title with Manchester City. He ended his playing career with Scottish giants Celtic, helping them claim the Premiership title without losing a match in the 2016-17 season before retiring to join their coaching staff in September that year. Rob Kelly, who had been in caretaker charge since Richardson's exit, will stay on as assistant and former Crawley boss Kevin Betsy and Foxes coach Ashvir Johal have also joined his coaching staff. Exciting but a step into the unknown Analysis - Mike Minay, BBC Radio Manchester sport It's an exciting appointment for Wigan but perhaps one that creates an edge of nervousness due to the element of the unknown. Kolo Toure clearly feels this is the right opportunity for him. After previously completing his coaching badges and spending the past five years as the right hand man for Brendan Rodgers he's now decided this is the right time and right job for him. I believe his playing days under Arsene Wenger, Roberto Mancini and later working with Rodgers gives him a grounding for playing football in an attractive way - something that I also believe appealed to the Wigan board. But, as stated, there's the unknown. Toure has never played or managed in the Championship and now needs to lift a group of players out of form and in the relegation zone of the division.
