Wigan Athletic have confirmed interim manager Graham Barrow has left the club, along with three other staff members.

Barrow took charge of the first team in March following the departure of Warren Joyce but he was unable to save Latics from relegation to League One.

Wigan chairman David Sharpe said: "Graham has spent a large part of his professional career with Wigan Athletic over three spells, and has been with us during the highs and lows of the past eight years. On behalf of everyone at the club and all our supporters, I want to thank him for all his hard work during his time with Wigan Athletic.

"Graham has been a great servant to the club as a player, a manager and a coach and on behalf of everyone at Wigan Athletic, we wish him all the very best for the future."

Barrow made 212 appearances for Wigan as a player between 1981 and 1986, scoring 44 goals.

He returned to manage the club between 1994 and 1995, helping the club rise away from the foot of the Football League.

His latest spell with the club began in 2009 when he was hired as a coach under Roberto Martinez and he has worked as assistant manager under subsequent managers.

Head of medical Mick Rathbone, interim first team coach John Doolan and first team fitness coach Jimmy Barrow have also left the club.

Sharpe added: "We thank all three for their efforts whilst with us and wish them all the best for the future."
