However, he has parted company with City, along with director of football Nils Nielsen, fellow coach Shaun Goater and goalkeeping coach Chris Williams.

City finished the season runners-up for the seventh time in 10 years.

Manager Gareth Taylor has recently signed a new three-year contract.

Mahon scored 10 goals in 56 appearances for Latics after arriving from Ipswich in February 2004.

During his time at the then-JJB Stadium, he helped Latics reach the Premiership for the first time in 2005, coming on as a second-half substitute for Jason Roberts in the clinching victory over Reading.

He also played for Tranmere Rovers, Sporting Lisbon, Blackburn Rovers, Cardiff City, Burnley and Blackpool during his career.
