Kolo Toure has been sacked by Wigan Athletic just two months after his managerial appointment.

Toure only signed a three-and-a-half-year deal in late November, but a run of nine games without a victory in all competitions has brought an abrupt end to his spell as manager at the DW Stadium - after just 59 days.

The Latics are bottom of the Sky Bet Championship on 25 points, four points adrift of safety. Wigan suffered a second home defeat to Luton in the space of four days - with the Hatters easing to a 2-0 win on Tuesday.
