Jack Wilshere is the new U-18 Arsenal coach.
The former Arsenal academy decided to hang his boots earlier this month and is currently working as an under18 coach.
His injury problems posed a major hindrance in his professional career and now has been appointed as Arsenal’s youth coach.
Ben Dinnery believes he is more than qualified for the U-18 managerial role.
He tells Football Insider: “He started doing his coaching badges in 2017.
“I think he made the conscious decision back then that he wanted to have some sort of role in a coaching capacity.
“He has got a Level 2 FA badge and had a conversation with Per Mertesacker, who asked him if he wanted to study with him for a Uefa B badge.
“The argument that he has been shoehorned in there because he is a former player does Jack Wilshere a little bit of an injustice. This has been on his radar for at least the last five years.
“You might question his hours of direct coaching, but what he lacks in experience he makes up for with countless hours of playing under the world’s best managers.”
