Jack Wilshere is set to be unveiled as Luton Town’s new manager on Monday.
Wilshere agreed a deal to take over after positive talks over the weekend, with Luton calling a press conference to introduce their new coach on Monday.
The appointment marks an entry point into full-time senior management for the former Arsenal and England midfielder, who left Norwich at the end of last season.
He was in caretaker charge for the final two matches following the club’s sacking of Johannes Hof Thorup.
They drew with Middlesbrough and beat Cardiff at home on the final day of Wilshere’s two matches.

Luton lost to Stevenage in their final league game, leaving them in 11th place in League One
Prior to that, Wilshere had been first-team coach at Carrow Road since October 2024, having previously been in charge of Arsenal’s Under-18s.
Other names in the running after Matt Bloomfield’s dismissal include Leyton Orient coach Richie Wellens and Watford coach Luke Daniels.
Luton sacked Bloomfield after nine months in charge following their loss to Stevenage earlier this month, with the club sitting 11th in the Championship.
Bloomfield took over last January at Kenilworth Road, but was unable to prevent the team from being relegated from the Championship after falling out on the final day of last season.
