— Luton Town FC (@LutonTown) October 13, 2025Wilshere showed gratitude for the new role and promised to give his best. He said:
It’s a huge honour and a privilege to be named Luton Town manager.
It feels like a full-circle moment for me. I was eight when I first came to Luton as a boy, so I guess you could say it’s fate that my first full-time club managerial position is at this club.
I couldn’t be more delighted to be here – I can’t wait to manage this football club.
Wilshere made 197 appearances for Arsenal, before spells at West Ham United, AFC Bournemouth and Aarhus GF before he went into coaching.
