Wigan boss Ryan Lowe has addressed his red card in the final stages against Wanderers on Tuesday night.
The 46-year-old was sent off by referee Farai Hallam moments after Chris Forino’s late winner as the Whites ended 10 years of hurt against the Latics to secure a crucial three points in the play-off race.
Lowe confirmed that his red card was for an altercation with Bolton coach Mark Hughes, who was cautioned along with Andy Lonergan.
The Wigan chief says emotions ran high in the moment but there remains “the utmost respect from both sides”.
Lowe now faces a wait to see if he will be in the dugout against Leyton Orient at Brisbane Road this weekend.
"I obviously know what happened, but I've got to wait for the FA to come back to us and see what they say," he told Wigan Today. "We're old friends, me and Mark, all the backroom lads know each other really well.
"Emotions were running high, he entered our box, I entered their box. Unfortunately, the referee has only seen me enter his box and push him.
“I think that's all it was, probably the pair were worthy of a yellow card each just for the disruption of it.
"I ended up with a red card, which I'm obviously very disappointed with. Emotions ran high but there remains the utmost respect from both sides.
“We'll wait to see what the FA come back with and hopefully it's nothing too serious. I certainly hope to be in the dugout between now and the end of the season."
Lowe added: "I've been a naughty boy before and you have to learn from those mistakes. You have to learn from those lessons but, as far as this one's concerned, there's nothing in it as far as I'm concerned.
"The fourth official was only doing his job, I understand that, and the referee has got to do what he did, I respect that."
