Wigan Athletic have sacked manager Uwe Rosler, after a run of only one win in 12 games left the club languishing in the relegation zone.

The Latics appointed Rosler last season as Owen Coyle’s replacement. The former Brentford manager was only appointed as the club’s manager December 2013, but has already found himself unemployed after a poor start to the league campaign.

The 45 year old had a successful first campaign at the club, guiding the club to a lofty 5th place finish, but the club eventually lost out to eventual play-off winners QPR in the play-off semi-final. He also managed to see his side through to the FA Cup semi-finals, where they lost out to Arsenal on penalties.

The club now begin the search for a new manager, after the German born manager was dismissed following only three wins all year.
