Wigan Athletic have appointed former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Kolo Toure as their new manager on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Toure, who made 353 appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal, City, and Liverpool from 2002-16, was previously part of the coaching set-up at Leicester City and Scottish giants Celtic under Brendan Rodgers.
The 41-year-old former Ivory Coast international replaces Leam Richardson, who was sacked earlier this month with the championship club having fallen into the relegation zone after a run of six defeats in seven games.
Toure will now travel to Turkey to join his new players, where they are undergoing a mid-season training camp before resuming their Championship campaign at Millwall on Saturday, December 10.
