The 2020–21 season was Wigan Athletic Football Club's 89th season in existence and their first back in League One since 2017–18. In addition to the domestic league, Wigan Athletic participated in this season's editions of the FA Cup, EFL Cup, and EFL Trophy.
Season summary
Due to the club's ongoing administration, there were initially concerns whether the club could begin the new season if the club was not sold to a new owner, but the English Football League (EFL) confirmed that the club would be able to start the season under administration.[1] Prior to the start of the season, supporters raised £500,000 to help keep the club running until a buyer could be found.[2] On 1 September, the club sold its training ground in Euxton to Preston North End for a fee of £1.6 million.[3]
On 20 August 2020, the club's owner, Au Yeung Wai Kay, agreed to waive the £36 million debt owed to him by the club.[4] On 30 September, an offer was accepted from a Spanish-based consortium led by businessman José Miguel Garrido Cristo,[5] but the takeover was blocked by the EFL on 4 December, as the prospective owners had "failed to satisfy their requirements".[6] A revised bid was submitted, led by CD Leganés president Felipe Moreno,[7] but the takeover eventually fell through on 5 January.[8] On 15 March, a bid was accepted from Phoenix 2021 Limited, owned by Bahraini businessman Abdulrahman Al-Jasmi.[9] The takeover was completed at the end of March, with Talal Al-Hammad becoming the club's new chairman.[10]
On 11 September, John Sheridan was appointed as manager as a replacement for Paul Cook, who had resigned at the end of the previous season.[11] Sheridan left the club two months later to become manager of Swindon Town,[12] with Leam Richardson taking charge for the remainder of the season.
The club managed to avoid a second successive relegation, finishing in 20th place.
