Lee Cattermole has hinted that he will give new boss Roberto Martinez a chance before deciding on his Wigan future.
Martinez was confirmed as Wigan manager late on Monday night, replacing Steve Bruce who departed to The Stadium of Light and Sunderland.
Bruce was the man who brought Cattermole to The JJB and, after a powerful season for The Latics, the England Under-21 midfielder is likely to be at the top of the Sunderland manager’s wishlist this summer.
Cattermole is currently away at the Under-21 Championships but he has not ruled out the possibility of staying with Wigan, despite admitting that Bruce is a big loss.
He said: “I had a good year last year and Steve Bruce brought me to Wigan so it is a bit of a shame he has gone, but that’s football,” he told The Evening Chronicle.
“Managers change, players change all the time so hopefully I’ll be able to do the same for Martinez.
“I obviously really enjoyed last year and there’s a lot of changes at Wigan, I think we have lost our manager and our staff now.
“I’m going to concentrate on the European Championships and get back, see what the situation is with Wigan and meet the new manager and see how it goes.”
