Arsenal hero Jack Wilshere could be set for a swift managerial return.
Wilshere became Norwich interim manager towards the end of the season and defeated former teammate Aaron Ramsey on the final day clash with Cardiff City.
However, the Canaries now look set to appoint Liam Manning as their new coach and Wilshere announced his Norwich departure in order to pursue his own managerial career.
Reports have now emerged that Wilshere could be set to follow in the footsteps of former England teammate Wayne Rooney after being considered for a vacant job in League One.

Jack Wilshere in contention for Plymouth managerial job
According to talkSPORT, former Gunners hero Wilshere is now being considered for the vacant managerial role at Plymouth Argyle.
Argyle are left reeling following the shock departure of Miron Muslic to Schalke in the Bundesliga and Wilshere is among the front-runners to replace him.
Rooney began the campaign as Plymouth’s boss before being sacked in December 2024, having won just five of his opening 25 games at the club – something Wilshere will want to avoid.
Wilshere has learned from some of the best managers during his time at Arsenal, he played under Arsene Wenger and worked alongside Mikel Arteta.
Plymouth are now hoping that experience would have rubbed off on Wilshere with the former Hale End star also bringing his own creative touch and ideas to the role.

Wilshere stated: “I obviously had this ambition, but probably didn’t think it would come straight away, or this quickly. You don’t really have time to mentally prepare. I didn’t really have time to. You get a feeling after we’ve had a few bad results and you get a feeling about the atmosphere not being great and the environment.
“I was behind the manager. We were all behind the manager and we were all trying to help him get some results and get some performances.
“And then, all of a sudden, you get a phone call and things change really quickly.”
Should the former Arsenal midfielder land the job he would join Cesc Fabregas in making a name for himself as a manager and then the potential return to North London links will begin…
