Latics legend Jones, who left Luton in April, had emerged as a frontrunner to succeed Paul Cook at Latics.

But the 50-year-old has taken a coaching role at Bournemouth. Manager Jason Tindall said: "Graeme likes to play the game in the right way and has fresh ideas which we are looking forward to implementing on the training ground."

Jones parted company with Martinez and Belgium after the 2018 World Cup.

For the moment, Paul Cook’s long-time No.2 Leam Richardson has been placed in charge, having remained at the club despite the manager resigning.
