Jack Wilshere Set to Become Luton Town Manager: Former Arsenal and England Star Takes the Helm
Jack Wilshere has officially been appointed as the new manager of Luton Town, a club currently competing in League One. The 33-year-old former Arsenal and England midfielder takes over from Matt Bloomfield, who was dismissed earlier this month after a brief tenure in charge. Wilshere’s appointment marks his first full-time managerial role.
Wilshere’s Background and Journey
Having spent his formative years at Luton, Wilshere expressed a deep connection to the club. He joined Arsenal at the age of nine and has now returned to manage the team where it all began. Under his leadership, Luton aims to improve its current standing of 11th place in League One, a position resulting from back-to-back relegations.

Alongside Wilshere, Chris Powell has been appointed as his assistant manager. Powell, a former England left-back, had a brief stint as interim coach at Walsall and is now set to support Wilshere in this new chapter for Luton Town.
Wilshere’s Vision for the Future
In his first statement as manager, Wilshere described the honor of leading Luton Town. He stated, “It feels like a full-circle moment for me. This club’s story inspires me, built on belief, unity, and hard work.” His ambition includes fostering team unity and resilience.
