Kolo Toure has been sacked as Wigan Athletic boss after failing to win any of his nine games in charge.
The former Arsenal and Manchester City defender was appointed as recently as November but just two points from his seven Championship matches at the helm with the Latics bottom of the table, four points from safety, was too much for the Wigan owners to take in.
Wigan confirmed that two members of Toure’s staff, Kevin Betsy and Ashvir Johal, have also left the club.
The remaining coaching staff will take interim charge of the the first team and Wigan say they are “working quickly to identify and appoint a new manager”.
They now have a two-week break before returning to action with a trip to Blackburn on Monday, 6 February.
