Overview

• Luton confirmed Wilshere’s appointment on Monday, with the new boss starting immediately ahead of Saturday’s home match against Mansfield Town.
• Former England defender Chris Powell joins as assistant after a short interim coaching spell at Walsall to provide senior experience on the staff.
• Wilshere succeeds Matt Bloomfield, who was sacked earlier in October following a disappointing start to the League One campaign.
• His coaching path includes leading Arsenal’s Under-18s, a first-team role at Norwich City, and an unbeaten two-game interim stint in the Championship.
• Luton selected Wilshere after interviewing multiple candidates, with Leyton Orient’s Richie Wellens considered but remaining at his club.
