Wigan Athletic have officially confirmed the return of Gary Caldwell as head coach, marking the beginning of a fresh chapter led by a familiar figure.
The Latics announced the appointment on their official channels, signalling renewed optimism as Caldwell steps back into the dugout for his second spell in charge of the club.
“The start of a new era under a familiar face!” wrote the club on their official X (formerly Twitter) account.
This time around, Caldwell will not be working alone. Former Wigan midfielder David Perkins returns to the DW Stadium setup as first-team coach, adding further continuity and connection to the club’s identity.
Meanwhile, change also follows behind the scenes. Assistant head coach Glenn Whelan and first-team coach Nicky Adams have both departed as part of the reshuffle, clearing the decks for the new regime.
As momentum builds ahead of the next phase, Caldwell’s return brings familiarity, authority and a clear sense of direction.
For Wigan supporters, attention now turns to how quickly the new-look coaching staff can translate stability into performances on the pitch.
