Wigan sack Malky Mackay

Wigan have sacked Malky Mackay after today's 2-0 defeat by Derby County.

The former Cardiff boss leaves with the club in the Championship relegation zone, second bottom and eight points adrift of safety, with five games to go.

He has not managed a single home win since arriving in November.

"This is a very difficult decision to make but I feel that for the long term future of the club, there needs to be a change now. I wish Malky all the best for the future," said club chairman David Sharpe.

Mackay's appointment as Wigan manager had been controversial as it had come months after he was mired in a scandal involving racist, sexist and homophobic texts.
