Jack Wilshere 'leaves Norwich' after being overlooked for manager job - as former Arsenal star seeks first permanent role

Jack Wilshere is reportedly set to leave Norwich after the club decided to not consider their current interim manager for the permanent job.

The former Arsenal midfielder has been in charge at Carrow Road ever since Johannes Hoff Thorup was sacked.

Wilshere oversaw the final two games of the season as Norwich finished the campaign in 13th.

With Norwich deciding to look for an external candidate to take over as manager on a permanent basis, Wilshere has decided to leave the club according to The Athletic.

'He’s a great coach and he’s going to be a fantastic head coach but that’s not going to be here at this particular moment in time,' Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper told the BBC.
