Jack Wilshere has vowed to help Arsenal 's academy stars become "the best they can be on and off the pitch" after completing a "special" return to the club as Head Coach of the Gunners' Under-18s.
The unveiling comes just days after the former Arsenal starlet announced his sudden retirement at the age of 30 within an emotional post. The ex- England international made the decision to hang up his boots after a 14-year professional career having left Danish side AGF upon the expiry of his contract in June.
Wilshere came through the Arsenal academy and went on to make 197 appearances for the club between 2008 and 2018, helping the north Londoners to two FA Cup triumphs in 2014 and 2015. Following the news that Wilshere has returned to take on a role in the club's youth setup, the former Gunners midfielder has swiftly set about laying out his ambitions.
