Gary Caldwell has released a statement expressing his great sadness that he was not given the time to finish the job he started at Wigan.Caldwell was sacked by the Sky Bet Championship strugglers after just 18 months in charge at the DW Stadium.The 34-year-old former defender led the Latics to the League One title last season in his first managerial position. However, a poor start to the season saw him pick up just two wins in 14 matches and he paid the price on Tuesday when he was axed with the club second-from-bottom in the table.I am obviously incredibly disappointed to be leaving Wigan Athletic after more than seven years at the club, said Caldwell. No approach for Uniteds Joyce No Wigan approach for Manchester United U21 boss Warren Joyce Having led the team to promotion in my first full season in charge as manager I was hopeful of being given the time necessary to turn results around and so it is with great sadness that I will now not be able to finish the job I started.I am fully aware that the results recently havent been good enough but having not lost by more than one goal all season, I truly believed that we were not far away from getting things right and turning the corner.During my time at the club, both as a player and a manager, Ive experienced some amazing highs and some crushing lows both personally and professionally. However, it is those experiences, both good and bad, that have helped to make my time at the club so special and I will always hold Wigan Athletic close to my heart.As a player, there are a number of moments that will stay with me forever. I will always remember the games at Stoke and Blackburn that led to us staying up in the Premier League as well as beating Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal and scoring the winning goal at Anfield. On top of those great matches, being involved in the squad for the FA Cup Final and then lifting the trophy was a truly magical and proud moment for all of us.There were lows too that were tough to take, including the injuries that I suffered during my playing days as well as relegation from the Premier League. However, I enjoyed every minute and feel lucky to have forged bonds and friendships with team mates and staff alike over the years that will last with me forever. Warburton dismisses Wigan link Mark Warburton is absolutely bemused by reports linking him with the managerial vacancy at Wigan It was Wigan who enabled me to start my coaching career, firstly with the academy before then becoming manager, and I will therefore always hold a huge debt of gratitude to the chairman for giving me the opportunity to become manager and for entrusting me to start rebuilding the club from what was its lowest point in recent history.The celebrations we all enjoyed at Blackpool last season upon getting promoted were fantastic moments and were a reward for all the hard work everyone at the club put in. Following that, I genuinely believe that there is a great squad of players at the club and I am sure they will continue to give everything they have to progress this season.

The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed.Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik has stressed the need to have coaches and a skilled support staff?accompany for major tournaments.Sakshi, who created history at the recently concluded Rio Olympic Games by becoming the first Indian woman to win a medal in wrestling, said its a miracle that Indian athletes bring back medals in spite of not having the adequate back room staff.Not having your coach at the games makes a huge difference. Even the physio and doctor. We need a lot of things while there, we get injured, we get tired. And without a coach you cant perform the same way at a major event. A number of our athletes are sent to events, but coaches are not. Theyve been with us for so many years, they know our shortcomings, so to not have them at the games, it certainly affects our performance and our chances to bring back medals.Sakshi also said theres a lot India can learn from some of the international women wrestlers, their training and work ethic. She singled out the example of Japan, who went on to secure Gold in the same event, 58 kg freestyle.The Japanese wrestlers have been my inspiration. The main thing is that they are extraordinarily disciplined. And quiet, too. Their coaches are so disciplined themselves. They llook into the smallest of details, how much their athletes eat, what they eat, where they sit, they look into every movement of their athlete.dddddddddddd If we can replicate that level of discipline, it can only help us. Our girls are disciplined, but nothing like in comparison to them.In comparison, Sakshi lamented the lack of such professional support staff for the Indian athletes.We were just given supplements in Rio, but no one told us what has to be taken when, and in what dosage. We need that kind of detailed guidance when were at the Games. I saw the other athletes get it and it makes a huge difference.Sakshi also said that the pressure is only going to increase after the massive media coverage surrounding her medal win and the subsequent rewards and remuneration shes been accorded.Theres no doubt the pressure and expectation will increase now. Nobody knew about me before Rio 2016. Now everyones talking about me. So the pressure has multiplied doubly or triply even. But its my job now to overcome this pressure, work on my shortcomings from this Olympics, and perform even better at Tokyo 2020. ' ' '
