Wigan Athletic have sacked manager Leam Richardson after a run of eight successive games without a win.
The move will still come as a surprise with many aware of the remarkable job Richardson has performed under difficult circumstances over the past three seasons - taking Wigan from administration and a League One relegation battle back into the Championship.
Last season, despite limited resources and a small squad, Richardson drove Wigan to the League One title under their new ownership, which saw them claim promotion back to the second tier after a two-year absence.
