Return: Jack Wilshere
Arsenal Football Newsletter
Standard Sport understands the former midfielder is now a contender to become the new head coach of Arsenal’s Under-21 side.
The recruitment process is not yet concluded, but Wilshere is a strong candidate to replace Mehmet Ali - who joined Brentford’s first-team coaching staff last month.
Wilshere was named Arsenal’s Under-18 coach in July 2022 after retiring and he enjoyed a successful stint with them.
The former midfielder made the move to Norwich as he wanted to progress his career and work in a first-team environment.
Wilshere ended up being the Championship club’s interim head coach for the final two games of last season - a goalless draw away to Middlesbrough and a 4-2 home win over Cardiff City - before mutually agreeing to leave this summer.
