Paul Cook to commit to new contract at Wigan

Cook was responsible for guiding the turnaround at Wigan, that saw them return to the Championship and progress as far as the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Not only have the results been dramatically improved, but the style of play that the 51-year-old implements has earned admiration from supporters and interest from rival clubs.

Despite the future of the ownership at Wigan being somewhat uncertain, the club are keen to ensure that Cook stays on with an improved deal that also allows for his staff to remain.
