LONDON (Reuters) - Wigan Athletic have appointed controversial former Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay as their new manager, the Championship club said on Wednesday.

Mackay, under investigation by the Football Association for offensive messages he allegedly sent while in charge at the Welsh club, takes over from Uwe Rosler, who was sacked by second-tier Wigan on Friday after a poor start to the season.
