Jack Wilshere is close to becoming the Luton Town manager, and Mikel Arteta's previous comments about him will likely fill fans with confidence.
Wilshere, a former Arsenal player, retired from professional football in 2022 due to an injury-ravaged career. Since then, he has been building his managerial experience, including coaching Arsenal's under-18s and serving as a first-team coach at Norwich City.
After replacing Johanes Hoff Thorup as interim coach at Norwich in April 2025, Wilshere managed two Championship games before departing by mutual agreement a month later. He is now set to take on his first permanent managerial role.
Mikel Arteta said in 2024 that Jack Wilshere would bring a 'special' trait to his managerial career.
As a former player, Wilshere's experience and Arteta's endorsement may make him a promising candidate for the Luton Town manager position.
