Owen Coyle has left Wigan Athletic by mutual agreement.

The Latics are currently 14th in the Championship table, having suffered three straight home defeats.

The Scotsman was in charge at the DW Stadium for just six months.

A club statement said: “Wigan Athletic have announced that following a meeting with Chairman Dave Whelan, Owen Coyle has left his post as club manager by mutual agreement.

“Both Dave Whelan and Owen Coyle have agreed that this is the right course of action in the best interests of both parties.”

Owen Coyle said: “It is with great sadness that we have made this decision and I would like to thank all my football staff and the staff at the club, who have been very supportive of me in my time here. I am confident that with this set of players, the team can keep moving in the right direction.”

First team coach and former manager Graham Barrow and Assistant Manager Sandy Stewart will take charge of the team for the visit to Leeds United on Wednesday night.
