Ex-Ivorian and Arsenal FC defender, Kolo Toure has been appointed manager of Wigan Athletic.

This development is coming after his brother Yaya Toure turned down the chance to join the Latics.

The Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Kolo left his coaching role at Leicester ten days ago after nine months in the job.

That ended his long-standing working relationship with Brendan Rodgers, whom he first worked with as a player at Liverpool.

He later played under Rodgers at Celtic before working as a coach alongside the Foxes boss in Glasgow.

But he is now ready to for the hotseat and replaces Leam Richardson after he was sacked as Wigan manager earlier this month.
