Reports Indicate Wigan Closing In on Gary Caldwell as Next Manager

Speculation has intensified following an Exeter staff member’s Strava post.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Wigan are pursuing Exeter City boss Gary Caldwell for their vacancy, though neither club has announced an appointment.
  • Exeter lead physio Michael McBride shared a Strava run captioned “Northampton (H) last one with Gary and Dave,” which fans interpreted as a farewell hint.
  • Caldwell declined to address his future after Exeter’s 0-0 draw with Northampton, as home supporters chanted for him to stay.
  • Wigan dismissed Ryan Lowe earlier this month, with Glenn Whelan overseeing the team on an interim basis for today’s FA Cup trip to Arsenal.
  • Wigan sit two points from safety in League One, and Caldwell has prior ties to the Latics as a former player and their manager in 2015.
