Wigan ready to offer Ryan Giggs a first managerial role with Welshman among candidates to replace Gary Caldwell

Wigan are ready to offer Ryan Giggs his first managerial role, though the size of his transfer budget could make or break any deal.

The Latics sacked Gary Caldwell on Monday following a disappointing start to their Championship season.

Manchester United legend Giggs features prominently on the club’s list of candidates, along with Karl Robinson who was sacked by League One side MK Dons at the weekend.
