"After retiring as a player in 2022, Wilshere had a spell in charge of Arsenal's under-18 team, and spent much of last season as a first-team coach at Championship club Norwich City. He was named interim head coach for the Canaries' final two league games following Johannes Hoff Thorup's departure, before leaving Carrow Road at the end of the campaign."
"Luton won promotion to the Premier League under Rob Edwards in 2023, but the Hatters spent just one season in the top flight and suffered a second consecutive relegation last season. Bloomfield was appointed when Edwards left Kenilworth Road in January, but the former Wycombe Wanderers boss was unable to keep Luton in the Championship and won only 12 of his 33 games in charge."
"Wilshere made his professional debut as a 16-year-old for Arsenal in 2008 and twice won the FA Cup with the Gunners, for whom he made almost 200 appearances before leaving for West Ham United in 2018. He later had spells with Bournemouth and Danish side Aarhus before retiring aged 30. At international level Wilshere played 34 times for England, appearing at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016."
Jack Wilshere will take over as Luton Town manager, replacing Matt Bloomfield after the latter's sacking. Chris Powell will join as assistant. Wilshere's appointment follows Luton’s back-to-back relegations and current 11th-place standing in League One. Wilshere retired as a player in 2022, managed Arsenal under-18s, and served as a first-team coach at Norwich City, briefly acting as interim head coach. Bloomfield won 12 of 33 games and could not prevent relegation after being appointed in January. Wilshere's first match in charge will be at home against Mansfield Town on Saturday. He made nearly 200 appearances for Arsenal and earned 34 England caps.
