Caretaker Wilshere on 'emotional week'

Jack Wilshere coached Arsenal's under-18s before moving to Norwich as an assistant

Norwich City interim coach Jack Wilshere has said it's been an "emotional week" following his side's 0-0 draw at Middlesbrough.

Johannes Hoff Thorup was sacked on Tuesday as Canaries boss having won just 14 out of 47 games home and away from Carrow Road with former Arsenal and England midfielder Wilshere taking charge until the end of the season.

"I'm so proud of them," Wilshere told BBC Radio Norfolk after the match. "When you go through a week like we have, emotions all over place.

"The focus was to try and create something like that, to be harder to play against.

"The challenge was can we keep a clean sheet, can we stay in the game. We know we've got quality going forward and another day those goals go in.

"The response from everyone, not just the players, the fans as well but also the staff that have supported me that have come together behind me.

"It's been a really emotional week for me personally but I would say for a lot of people as well."
