Jack Wilshere in talks to join Norwich City
Impressing during his two years in charge of the Gunners’ youth side, the former England international is now looking to the next step in his coaching career.
According to a recent report from The Athletic’s Art de Roche, Wilshere is close to being appointed Norwich City’s first-team coach.
This news comes after Narcis Pelach recently left the Canaries to become manager of 17th-placed Stoke City.
Should Wilshere reach a total agreement with Delia Smith’s side, he will join Johannes Thorup’s backroom staff in what would be a significant appointment, both for the club and for the ex-Arsenal playmaker.
The Canaries currently sit seventh in the Championship table and are looking to win promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2020.
