Norwich Excludes Wilshere From Head Coach Search

Jack Wilshere will not be considered for Norwich City's permanent head coach position despite serving as interim manager following Johannes Hoff Thorup's dismissal. During his short tenure, Wilshere impressed fans and players with a 0-0 draw against Middlesbrough and a 4-2 win over Cardiff City, earning praise for his tactical approach and leadership. Sporting director Ben Knapper confirmed the club will seek external candidates for the permanent role, stating a different direction is needed. The decision disappointed many supporters, who felt Wilshere deserved a chance due to his impact and player support, while others noted concerns about appointing another inexperienced manager after Thorup. Norwich finished 13th in the Championship and is now searching for a new head coach as they aim to improve next season.
