Jack Wilshere Interviewed by Colorado Rapids for Head Coach Position
Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has been interviewed by Colorado Rapids for the position of head coach, according to talkSPORT. Wilshere, who is currently the Gunners’ under-18 coach, received permission from Arsenal to hold talks with the Major League Soccer (MLS) side.
Wilshere, who has expressed his ambition to become a manager, is currently content at Arsenal. However, other clubs in America and across Europe have also shown interest in the former England international.
During his first season in charge of the Arsenal under-18s, Wilshere led the team to the FA Youth Cup final, showcasing his potential as a coach. Having spent ten years at Arsenal as a player, Wilshere came through the club’s Hale End academy and made his senior debut in 2008.
Throughout his career at Arsenal, Wilshere made 197 appearances for the Gunners, scoring 14 goals and providing 30 assists. He also had loan spells at Bolton Wanderers and Bournemouth before leaving the club permanently in 2018.
After leaving Arsenal, Wilshere joined West Ham, where he spent just over two years. He later returned to Bournemouth on a short-term contract in 2022 but was released at the end of the season.
Following his departure from Bournemouth, Wilshere moved to Aarhus GF in the Danish top flight. However, injuries continued to hamper his career. Despite this, he represented England on 34 different occasions.
If Wilshere joins Colorado Rapids as their head coach, he will be joining a team that is also owned by Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. Currently, Colorado Rapids are struggling in the MLS Western conference, sitting at the bottom of the table with only five wins in 32 games this season.
Wilshere’s potential appointment as head coach could bring a fresh perspective and experience to Colorado Rapids, as he combines his knowledge as a former player with his coaching abilities. His time at Arsenal, both as a player and a coach, has undoubtedly provided him with valuable insights into the game.
As Wilshere continues to explore his options for a managerial role, it will be interesting to see if he ultimately decides to make the move to the United States and take on the challenge of leading Colorado Rapids. With his passion for the game and his desire to succeed, Wilshere could bring a new era of success to the MLS side.
