"Wilshere started his role with the Arsenal Under-18s in the summer of 2022, shortly after he announced his retirement from playing. During his tenure, he led the side to the FA Youth Cup final, where they faced West Ham United. Though they lost, his experience was invaluable for the young players. This role provided him a foundation in coaching, but the chance to move to a first-team setup at Norwich is seen as a significant step in his career."
"Wilshere is excited by the opportunity of joining Johannes Hoff Thorup's backroom staff at Norwich City. His relationship with Ben Knapper, Norwich's sporting director, has greatly influenced this decision. Knapper has a history with Arsenal, where he previously worked as the loans manager until October 2023. This connection is crucial as it shows how previous relationships in football can facilitate career progression for coaches looking to advance in competitive environments."
