Latest odds now look at who could take over at Wigan Athletic next
Another managerial departure has taken place this weekend with Shaun Maloney sacked at Wigan and now betting odds are given on who will be the next Wigan manager.
The Latics have struggled this season and sit just 6 points above the relegation zone in 15th place in the League One table and their next opponent will be a big one.
Maloney's departure has been met with a mixed reaction from fans who have been happy with his stability at the club but many have also been disappointed at the boring style of football.
Now looking at the early market it's Gary Caldwell who leads the way to take over at Wigan with big names featuring in the odds list.

Shaun Maloney was sacked after the Latics loss to Reading
Wigan's 2-1 home defeat by Reading on Saturday saw their form now extend to one win in seven games in League One.
Sunday's announcement by the Latics meant that Maloney left the club after over two years in charge which saw them relegated from the Championship and receive points deductions for their financial situation.
Glenn Whelan has been made interim manager while the club looks for their next appointment in the coming days.

Wigan 25/1 to be relegated this season
That latest defeat for the Latics has seen them now 6 points off the relegation zone in the League One table as they look to stay up in the league.
Bookmakers have shortened their odds into 25/1 to be relegated now after that latest defeat with a tough final few months of the season ahead of them.
Wigan are the lowest scorers in the division this season and will need to change that around to stay up this year.
