Wigan offer Mackay a way back

Malky Mackay is back in football after Wigan confirmed the Scot as their new manager.

The 42-year-old, out of work since being axed by Cardiff last December, takes over a club in the Championship’s bottom three.

In August, Mackay admitted to sending text messages deemed “disrespectful of other cultures”, but Latics chairman Dave Whelan has offered him a route back.
