da doce： Wigan owner Dave Whelan says 50 people have applied for the Wigan job, with Steve McClaren and Owen Coyle the leading candidates.
da pinup bet： The Latics are looking for a new boss following confirmation at the start of the week that Roberto Martinez is to leave and he is widely expected to take over at Everton.
Former England and Nottingham Fores boss McClaren is the favourite, with ex-Bolton boss Coyle also thought to be in the running, and Whelan says there are plenty of high-calibre managers interested in the DW post.
Whelan has drawn up his shortlist but will not begin the formal process of appointing a new boss until Martinez officially leaves.
He said: “Roberto is still our manager and we’re still waiting on Everton to say they want to appoint him or they don’t.
“If Everton want to take him then there is £2million of compensation to be paid to Wigan Athletic, so we can’t jeopardies that.
“We’ve got a list of candidates who have applied and we must have 50 people on it.
“We’ve got some very good and talented managers who have applied – there are some very high-profile names on there.”
