Arsenal fans will recognise the name of Jack Wilshere. He has now left his role as head coach of the Under-18s at Emirates. He has gone. But also he has passed the gauntlet to take his place in his journey from a coach. With that, let’s look at where we are now and what this means for both clubs.
Wilshere guided Arsenal’s youth prospects for two years. He was able to justify his inclusion as a former Gunners midfielder. But he now wants to go further. Wilshere has a job as a first-team coach at Championship side Norwich City. Jack Wilshere is moving.
Arsenal also has to work three times harder to create and nurture young talent after Wilshere’s departure. Instead, he reserved his influence for players and connected with them personally. Now this club has to find someone worthy to carry this legacy even more.
Jack Wilshere has joined Norwich’s senior backroom staff in order to quicken his football coaching career. He’s not just good, but he has a passion and can get people out of his seat. He hopes to help Norwich’s upward curve. Wilshere becomes Norwich City’s latest signing ahead of their next fixture. And his fresh perspective, and Arsenal history, may bring something new to their coaching set-up.
Meanwhile, Arsenal has to choose their next Under-18s coach. The torch has been passed. And the club’s youth development system waits hopefully for its next leader.
Jack Wilshere’s change of club from Arsenal to Norwich City. Is more than the tale of a former youth teamer of a Premier League giant returning home. It is a tale of a paradigm shift in modern football coaching. Fans on both sides will watch closely as this man settles into his role. But for Arsenal, it offers them the chance to redefine their youth development pathway. While it represents an incredibly valuable asset in Norwich’s pursuit of such.
