Jack Wilshere ended the 2024-25 season as Norwich City's interim manager. He is now the favourite to replace Miron Muslic as manager of Plymouth Argyle.


Plymouth will play in League One next season following their recent relegation. David Wagner, Ian Evatt, Adin Osmanbasic, Des Buckingham and Jim Goodwin have all been touted as possible candidates.


However, Wilshere is currently the odds-on favourite with bookmakers to land the job previously occupied by his former England team-mate Wayne Rooney.


Rooney was in charge at Home Park from May last year until he was sacked on New Year's Eve after winning just five of his 25 games.


He was replaced by Miron Muslic in January but the Austrian vacated the role to join Schalke last week.

Wilshere has made no secret of his desire to forge a career in management.


In July 2022, just four days after announcing his retirement as a player, Wilshere became the head coach of Arsenal's Under-18 team.


Having led his Gunners side to the FA Youth Cup final in his first season, he departed north London in April to become the interim manager at Norwich City.


Wilshere took charge of Norwich's final two games of the 2024-25 campaign and delivered two impressive results.


He started with a creditable 0-0 draw away at Middlesbrough, a result that ended a run of three straight defeats.


Norwich then ended the season by beating Cardiff City 4-2 in an entertaining finale.
