Steve Bruce has managed Wigan for seven weeks in 2001
Wigan have confirmed Steve Bruce will take over.
Bruce, 46, has been ruled out of taking charge of Wigan's team for Saturday's away game at Arsenal due to a lack of time to prepare.
But Bruce will be at the Emirates Stadium to watch the game as caretaker Frank Barlow supervises the team.
Bruce's confirmation as Wigan boss comes after he and former club Birmingham reached a compromise over reported £225,000 image rights dispute.
As long ago as Monday, Whelan confirmed Bruce was to join the strugglers after opting to leave Birmingham.
Wigan's official confirmation ends Bruce's six-year spell at Birmingham, where he twice won promotion to the top flight.
