Wilhel declined the position of coach of Arsenal s U21 echelon and focused on his senior team coaching career

Hupu August 13th BBC chief reporter Sami Mokbel exclusively, TA confirmed that Jack Wilhel decided to give up the opportunity to return to Arsenal youth training camp and focus on taking the lead as the coach of the adult team.

33-year-old Wilhill, who was the head coach of Arsenal's U18 team, had consulted with the club on the possibility of returning to the youth training academy to coach.

The initial negotiations revolve around returning to the U21 team coach - former Arsenal U21 coach Mohamed Ali left the club in July this year to Brentford as first-team coach.

Former Arsenal and England national midfielder Wilhelm is highly regarded for his role in developing outstanding players such as Myers Lewis Skelly, Ethan Envanieri and Max Dowman.

Many at Arsenal recognize that bringing the famous player who graduated from Helnde's youth training camp back to the youth training camp for an important position will help bridge this sense of gap between the youth training camp and the first team.

Naturally, Wilhel also became one of the candidates for Ali’s successor – despite doubts about re-enabling a coach who has just left the club recently.

At present, Arsenal has not reached an agreement with Wilhel on this. At present, he is not expected to become a member of the new youth training system.

Wilhill seems to have withdrawn from the U21 echelon head coach competition, and Porter seems to be ready. The 39-year-old coach has coached at Arsenal Academic College since 2017 and has been gradually advancing at all ages. After Alibaba left office, Porter and his coaching team Ken Gillard temporarily coached the U21 echelon. Now, Porter is about to take over the position officially.
