Posted on July 13, 2017 in WAFC

Wigan Athletic has appointed former Portsmouth manager Paul Cook as their new boss for next season. He will be replacing Graham Barrow who was serving on an interim basis.

Paul Cook comes out of a success campaign with Portsmouth where he managed to win the League 2. Despite being offered an interesting package by Portsmouth, he chose to make a move to Wigan Athletic.

He said that he is happy with what he has achieved with Portsmouth, but he feels that this is time for a new challenge. He said that he has enjoyed every moment of the promotion-winning campaign and that he will be cherishing the memories.

Paul Cook believes that there is a great opportunity at Wigan Athletic and that this is a great occasion for home to prove himself. He admitted that he would need time to know the players and the staff, but he is excited to get started in his new job. (more…)
