Former Manchester City chief exeuctive Garry Cook joins Wigan after their relegation to League One

Former Manchester City chief executive Garry Cook has taken up a non-executive director's post with Wigan following their relegation to Sky Bet League One.

Cook, who will work in a part-time advisory capacity with the Latics, spent three years with City where he was responsible for a series of public relations blunders as the club tried to establish themselves as a European heavyweight under their new Abu Dhabi-based owners.

Appointed prior to their arrival in 2008, Cook once claimed of the club's then-captain 'Richard Dunne doesn't roll off the tongue in Beijing' and said AC Milan 'bottled' a proposed deal to bring Brazilian forward Kaka to City.
