Something to note before reading the story
Estonia story is going on, I made this for 2 reason, for 1 there aren't hardly any games that Estonia play and secondly, it's the perfect time for a Wigan story, Europa League, Relegation, Losing Kone and McCarthy etc. and I'm a huge Wigan Athletic fan! #WiganTillIDie.

The Search goes on
Wigan Athletic are still looking for a new manager in time for the kick-off of the new Championship season. Wigan were recently relegated from the Premier league, after losing 4-1 to Arsenal on the 37th Matchday, but last season left some positives after they were crowned FA Cup champions, beating Manchester City by one goal to nil. Favourites are believed to be, former Wigan centre back, Arjan De Zeeuw, out of favour, Steve McClaren and recently sacked, Giovanni Trapotoni, after he lost his job just 2 weeks ago from The Repbulic of Ireland vacancy.
Arjan spoke with us earlier today about the matter, "I'm really surprised to be linked with one of my old clubs, Wigan Athletic, who did a lot for me, I'd be so proud if I were at the DW sitting in the dug-outs watching the players play and Dave Whelan watching me do it, again it would be brilliant!
On twitter many people have spoken, here is one example.

Arjan returns
Wigan Athletic have named their new manager today, in ex Wigan centre back, Arjan De Zeeuw. De Zeeuw was a popular figure at Wigan and helped them get to their highest ever finish in the Premier league, 10th (In their debut season.)

Good luck with Wigan
Wigan make Europa League debut
Wigan Athletic made their Europa league debut, last night. Wigan played the Czech side Mlada Boleslav and surprisingly only managed a 1-1 draw, Shaun Maloney was rested, as was Callum McManaman for the first leg of the 3rd Qualifying round. Beccino slotted home on his Wigan debut, after joining from Norwich for 2.7 million, after a fantastic piece of play from the team. "I think we could've played much better," noted the manager, Arjan De Zeeuw, "The team lacked that something and we need to win this game or score at least 2 goals to go through, otherwise we have been knocked out and let down our fans."
Wigan go through, by narrow margain
Wigan beat Czech side Mlada Boleslav to reach the play-off round of the Europa League. Fielding a much stronger side, Wigan prayed to score that vital goal to qualify, which came through Jean Beausjour, 6 minutes in. The game remained very quiet following the goal and Wigan qualified on AGG 2-1. Wigan will face the Finnish side, FC Inter in the next round.
Good start^.^ You've also got a really strong side to say your in the championship, so shouldn't be too hard to get promoted back were you belong:)
An outstanding start, can't wait to read more!
