Wigan are turning to Simon Grayson as the club deals with administration.
The recently relegated team are now in League One, and will get Grayson to help steer the ship in the coming weeks.
And The Sun says the experienced manager will help the club stay afloat on the footballing side, as administrators run the financial side of the club.
Grayson has not been working since he left Blackpool a year ago.
He will be on a modest salary and is aware it could be a short term arrangement.
