Wigan Athletic Dismisses Head Coach Ryan Lowe After 11 Months
Wigan Athletic has made a major decision by dismissing head coach Ryan Lowe after a tenure of just 11 months. The club announced this change amid a disappointing run in the current season.
Interim Management Team
Following Lowe’s departure, Wigan has appointed Glenn Whelan and Graham Barrow to lead the first team on an interim basis. The club expressed gratitude for Lowe’s contributions and wished him success in the future.
Ryan Lowe’s Coaching Background
- Lowe previously achieved promotion from League Two with Bury and Plymouth.
- He had successful stints in the Championship, finishing 13th, 12th, and 10th with Preston.
Performance at Wigan Athletic
Lowe joined Wigan at the end of the 2024-25 season, managing to secure a 15th-place finish. However, the start of the current season was promising, with a victory over Northampton.
Unfortunately, Wigan’s form quickly declined. The team managed only three wins out of 17 matches across various competitions from late August to late November.
Upcoming Matches
Wigan’s next challenge comes with a home league match against Reading on Tuesday at 19:45 GMT. Following that, they will travel to face Premier League leaders Arsenal in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, February 15, at 16:30 GMT.
