Jack Wilshere appointed Luton Town manager | OneFootball

Luton Town have announced the appointment of former England international Jack Wilshere as the club's new manager.

The Hatters have suffered back-to-back relegations since making it to the Premier League for the 2032/24 season and have had an indifferent start to the current campaign, currently sitting 11th in League One with 16 points from 11 games.

The club announced the departure of head coach Matt Bloomfield last week and have now appointed ex-Arsenal man Jack Wilshere for his first senior managerial role after a brief run as interim boss of Norwich City last season.

"It’s a huge honour and a privilege to be named Luton Town manager," the 33-year-old said on his appointment.

"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."

Wilshere will oversee his first game as Luton manager when his side host Mansfield Town on Saturday.
