Man United face upheaval as key man leaves Old Trafford with immediate effect
The 51-year-old has penned a three-and-a-half
year contract at the DW Stadium.
After a poor start to the season, the
Championship outfit parted company with rookie
boss Gary Caldwell.
Wigan beat Cardiff City 1-0 at the weekend with
Graham Barrow in caretaker charge.
But Joyce will now rake
the reins against
Reading on Saturday.
The experienced coach
has been involved with
United since 2008 after
leaving Belgium side
Royal Antwerp.
GARY CALDWELL
However, he only has limited experience of being
a boss in is own right.
In November 1998 he was asked to stand in as
caretaker chief at Hull.
The Tigers soon made the appointment
permanent with Joyce taking on a player-
manager role.
CARREN JOYCE
At the time of his appointment Hull were facing
relegation out of the Football League.
But under his leadership, the club managed to
avoid the drop and almost certain bankruptcy.
