Jack Wilshere has made a return to Arsenal this summer as the new head coach of the under-18s side. The former midfielder came through the academy himself, going on to become a first-team regular for many years.
It comes after the 30-year-old announced his retirement from his professional playing career just days ago. Taking to social media in an emotional statement, he said: "To the best supporters on the planet, all of you Arsenal fans, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. To play for you all has been a privilege.
"You've always made me feel supported, and I hope I did you proud-representing your club. I'll never forget how you always backed me, and I'll forever be a Gooner... Now is the right time to close this chapter, but I still have so much to give to the game, and I am excited about what the future holds."
