Jack Wilshere appointed interim manager of Norwich City

Jack Wilshere, former Arsenal and England midfielder, has been appointed interim manager of Norwich City for the final two matches of the Championship season following the sacking of head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup after a series of poor results. Wilshere, who joined Norwich's coaching staff in October 2024 after previously coaching Arsenal's U18s, will be assisted by Tony Roberts and Nick Stanley. His short stint includes fixtures against Middlesbrough and Cardiff City, the latter managed by his former Arsenal teammate Aaron Ramsey. Norwich currently sit mid-table and have little to play for, with the club confirming plans to search for a permanent head coach after the season concludes. Wilshere's appointment is seen as both an opportunity for him to impress and a continuation of his post-playing career in coaching, following his early retirement due to injuries. There is no indication yet if Wilshere will be considered for the permanent role.
