Canaries search for a new gaffer as Wilshere leaves
JACK WILSHERE has left Norwich by mutual consent, the Championship club have confirmed.
Former Arsenal midfielder Wilshere joined the coaching staff last October and, following the departures of Johannes Hoff Thorup and Glen Riddersholm, was made interim head coach for the final two games.
Wilshere oversaw a goalless draw at
Middlesbrough and a 4-2 win over Cardiff at Carrow Road on the last day of the season, but was overlooked in the ongoing search for Hoff Thorup’s permanent replacement.
Sporting director Ben Knapper said: “Jack made a big impact here in the time he was with us.
“He built great connections with our players and staff, and we’re all sad to see him move on. We were all very grateful for him stepping in as our interim head coach for the final two games of the season, but we understand and respect his desire to further explore opportunities elsewhere.
“He leaves with our very best wishes, and we’ll follow his progress closely.
“I’ve no doubt he’ll go on to have a very successful coaching career in the senior game.”
