Aaron Ramsey is swapping his boots for a clipboard, and he is doing it in League One.
Oxford United confirmed the appointment of the former Arsenal and Wales midfielder as their new head coach on June 23, 2026, handing him the first permanent managerial role of his career.
The move comes just days after Oxford parted ways with Matt Bloomfield, who was sacked on June 20-21, 2026.
From player to manager: a career in transition
Ramsey retired from professional football after the 2025-26 season, closing the chapter on a playing career that stretched across nearly 20 years.
