Jack Wilshere has left Norwich City after an interim spell as the club’s head coach.
The former Arsenal and England midfielder oversaw the club’s final two games of the Championship season: a goalless draw against Middlesbrough and a 4-2 win over Cardiff City respectively.
The Athletic reported earlier in May that Wilshere would depart Carrow Road and he would now look to pursue coaching opportunities elsewhere.

Wilshere had been at Norwich as a first-team coach since October after leaving his position as Arsenal’s Under-18s head coach.
Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper said: “Jack made a big impact here in the time he was with us. He built great connections with our players and staff, and we’re all sad to see him move on.
“We were all very grateful for him stepping in as our interim head coach for the final two games of the season, but we understand and respect his desire to further explore opportunities elsewhere.
“He leaves with our very best wishes, and we’ll follow his progress closely. I’ve no doubt he’ll go on to have a very successful coaching career in the senior game.”
In an interview with The Athletic last month, he admitted: “I’m really enjoying the journey. I like to have an end goal in sight, and that is to be a head coach.”
Prior to his first game, a 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough on April 26, Wilshere said: “I’ve been in the role for two and a half days. I feel like I’m ready to make an impact at this level, I want to be a head coach at this level, but if you start thinking too much about that you can get carried away.
“To be offered it, I’d probably have to show Ben that I can make the team perform, and the next two games will give you more answers than speaking to me.”
Four points from the final two games of the season saw Norwich finish 13th in the Championship. Already well off the promotion places, they ended the season 11 points and seven places adrift of the play-offs.

Yankees’ Brian Cashman vouches for Anthony Volpe. But a closer look shows reason for concern
NEW YORK — Two years ago, Brian Cashman passionately defended the New York Yankees’ player development arm during an hourlong back-and-forth with the media at the 2023 GM Meetings in Scottsdale, Ariz. At the heart of his defense was shortstop Anthony Volpe, who won a Gold Glove Award in his rookie season but finished in the bottom 10 of the league offensively.AdvertisementCashman was adamant that Volpe would “crush it offensively” the following season and that his struggles at the plate in 2023 were related to not getting much experience at Triple A, even though the Yankees viewed him as the best option for the major-league shortstop job out of spring training.In 2024, the year Cashman expected a breakout offensively, Volpe posted a worse OPS (.657) than his rookie season (.666). Now in his third season, Volpe once again has an […]
Tigers’ Zach McKinstry is an unlikely, but also well-deserved, All-Star
DETROIT — Nope, he didn’t think this would happen. Not three years ago, when he was buried on the bench with the Dodgers, not back when he was getting cut from the Cubs, not last year when he was clinging to his Tigers roster spot for dear life.Zach McKinstry has always been self-aware. Aware of the fact he was a 33rd-round draft pick out of Central Michigan, which before now had only produced one other MLB All-Star (outfielder Tom Tresh, who represented the Yankees in 1962 and 1963).AdvertisementHe’s aware of the fact he’s now 30, a scrappy super-utility player, the type of guy who can make a roster function but rarely gets the acclaim.But look at the numbers on the scoreboard, and it is difficult to dismiss Zach McKinstry’s case for an All-Star nod. He is hitting .286 with an […]

There will be more than 600 players selected in the 2025 MLB Draft. We have ranked the top 100 prospects, but there are many more players who could make an impact at the next level whose names will also be called during the draft. Below are scouting notes on players who aren’t on the top-100 list but could be drafted.(Note: Prospects listed in alphabetical order; this isn’t a ranking. Scouting grades are on a traditional 20-80 scale.)Chris Arroyo, 1B, VirginiaH: 6-2 | W: 225 | B/T: L/L | DOB: 9/17/2004Arroyo started out at Florida in 2023 as a reliever, then went to a JUCO for a year, landing at Virginia this spring and becoming their everyday first baseman while throwing 12 innings out of the bullpen. He hit .291/.361/.519, but there’s probably more power in there than the line indicates; his […]
