"?Wigan Athletic have appointed Manchester United U-21 boss as their new manager. Joyce had been part of United's youth coaching staff for eight years and has been in charge of both the U-21 and U-23 teams, and signs a three-year contract with the Latics.
Wigan chairman David Sharpe expressed his delight at securing the services of an 'exceptional' coach in Joyce, who replaces Gary Caldwell who was sacked last week after 18 months in charge at the DW Stadium.
"Warren has everything we are looking for," Sharpe said. "He is an exceptional coach who has a reputation within the game for being among the very best at bringing through young players, as his record at Manchester United shows.

"But more than that, he has a winning mentality which transmits to his players and he has achieved great success in his time at United. It's the perfect combination.
"Warren has had several high profile opportunities but wants to move back into management and it is a measure of how highly we rate him that we are making such a long-term commitment.

"From the moment we met, it was clear that there was a connection. He is a highly professional, focused and ambitious person and we share the same views regarding the long-term vision for the club."
Joyce established himself as an erudite and impressive coach during his time with United, winning back-to-back U-21 Premier League titles and playing a key role in the development of first-team stars such as Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba.
