Jack Wilshere Departs Norwich After Interim Spell

Jack Wilshere has left Norwich City by mutual consent after a short spell as interim head coach, overseeing a 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough and a 4-2 win over Cardiff City in the final two games of the Championship season. Wilshere, aged 33, joined Norwich as first-team coach in October 2024 after managing Arsenal's Under-18s. He was not considered for the permanent head coach role as the club searches externally to replace Johannes Hoff Thorup. Sporting director Ben Knapper praised Wilshere's contributions and leadership, while Wilshere expressed gratitude and outlined his ambition to continue his senior coaching career elsewhere. Norwich finished the season 13th in the Championship, 11 points outside the play-off places. The club is continuing its search for a new permanent head coach.
