The risk for Wilshere is that the Kroenke’s treat the Rapids like the unwanted stepchild in their empire of sports teams and clubs.

Will Wilshere get the support that he needs?

I know we shit on the MLS, but to be a manager in a league of that size at age 31 is pretty crazy

It’s not like Colorado has much to lose if they miss on this hire. The bigger risk is probably for Wilshere, if the Rapids don’t invest in the team or give him any support.

Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids are considering appointing Jack Wilshere as their new head coach. The former England international, 31, has been coach of Arsenal’s Under-18 team since July 2022 and has made a strong impression, leading them to the 2022–23 FA Youth Cup final in his first season in charge.

The Rapids – owned by the same Kroenke Sports & Entertainment group that own Arsenal – parted ways with former head coach Robin Fraser in September. As revealed in The Athletic’s Ask Ornstein Q&A, the U.S. franchise made a formal approach to Arsenal to speak with Wilshere, who is thought to have impressed in his interview.

Yes and the St. Louis Rams!

/s OBVIOUSLY

I don’t know how Football Manager determine staff attributes, Jack Wilshere is 4/5 star coach on FM23.

Will be good to see the first genuinely wheelchair bound manager in the MLS. He’ll be the FDR of management there.

Only scored the greatest goal of all time

Almost certainly only cos the Kroenkes own both clubs though

Why? Will Still is 30 and doing well with Reims in ligue 1. But the difference is Will started his football coaching training age 24 , video analyst, assistant manager etc so he had somewhat managing experience.

On the other hand, the Kroenkes seem not to care about Colorado at all, to the point where its probably the worst coaching job in MLS.

Not really when you see the dross they hire based on name alone

Narrator: “Jack did not get the support he needs”

It should be noted, the Kronke’s own Both Arsenal and Colorado Rapids
