Hutchings delighted to name Barlow as Wigan No2

Wigan Athletic boss Chris Hutchings has named Frank Barlow as his assistant.

The former Nottingham Forest, Scunthorpe and Chesterfield boss has coached for over 30 years. Hutchings, who replaced Paul Jewell at the end of the season, is delighted to have Barlow on board.

"I am very excited about working with him," Hutchings told the club's official website. "Frank was always my first choice and he will bring in a lot of fresh ideas with him.

"I need someone I can trust implicitly and when it comes to football knowledge you can't really get more experience in the game than he has got.

"He knows players inside out, what motivates them, and how to get the best out of them.

"He is an absolutely superb, top line coach and I am confident he will have a big impact at Wigan."
