"The 33-year-old, who turned out almost 200 times for Arsenal - and was ranked at No.9 in FourFourTwo's list of Arsenal's best-ever homegrown players last year - also enjoyed playing spells at West Ham, Bournemouth and Danish side AGF before hanging up his boots in 2022. Since then, Wilshere has moved into coaching, quickly landing the role as Arsenal under-18s head coach following his retirement as a player, leading his side to the FA Youth Cup final in his first season."
"It's a huge honour and a privilege to be named Luton Town manager, Wilshere told the Luton Town website. It feels like a full-circle moment for me. I was eight when I first came to Luton as a boy, so I guess you could say it's fate that my first full-time club managerial position is at this club. I couldn't be more delighted to be here I can't wait to manage this football club."
Jack Wilshere, 33, has been appointed Luton Town manager in his first permanent senior managerial role. Wilshere made almost 200 appearances for Arsenal and also played for West Ham, Bournemouth and Danish side AGF before retiring in 2022. He moved into coaching immediately, becoming Arsenal under-18s head coach and leading the side to the FA Youth Cup final. He joined Norwich City's coaching staff a year ago and served as their interim manager at the end of the 2024/25 season. Wilshere returns to Luton, the club he joined at age nine, and will be assisted by former England international Chris Powell.
