On Monday, Chris Hutchings, who became the head coach of the club that survived in the English Premier League, is changing the team lineup - the team has decided to part ways with former captain and defender Arjan de Zeeuw and full-back David Unsworth.
The 37-year-old veteran A. de Zeeuw, wearing the "Wigan" jersey, played 203 matches, while D. Unsworth, who is four years younger, last weekend scored the decisive penalty shoot-out, bringing victory to the "Wigan" team with a score of 2-1 and thus saving them in the Premier League.
"David's goal in the match against Sheffield United will long be remembered by everyone, and this event will never be underestimated," said the new "Wigan" strategist C. Hutchings. - "As for Arjan, I can only say that he is one of the best professionals I have had the opportunity to work with."
"He was a fantastic player for Wigan, a true team leader both on and off the field, and having represented our team twice, he was a key player in the lineup, and I was privileged to work with him," added C. Hutchings on the club's official website. - "I wish him all the best in the future."
During his first period at Wigan from 1999 to 2002, he played 147 matches. In 2005, he left and returned to "JJB," increasing his number of matches by another 57 appearances.
Meanwhile, D. Unsworth joined the "Sheffield United" team in January this year after leaving the "Wigan" squad. It was he who scored the winning goal in one of the most important matches of the season, sending his former club back to the Championship league.
