Aaron Ramsey in Advanced Talks to Become Oxford United Manager

The 35-year-old former Wales and Arsenal midfielder would take his first permanent managerial job as Oxford begin a rebuild after relegation.

Overview

  • Oxford sacked Matt Bloomfield after their Championship relegation and are urgently searching for a replacement, with multiple outlets reporting advanced talks on Monday about Ramsey as the leading candidate.
  • Reports say Ramsey is negotiating to take charge at the Kassam Stadium but the club has not yet confirmed an appointment.
  • Ramsey retired in April after a short spell in Mexico and has prior coaching experience that includes a three-game caretaker run at Cardiff and work with Wales' setup.
  • He is studying for his UEFA Pro Licence through the Welsh FA, which sources say underpins his move into full-time management.
  • Coverage also reports Ramsey may bring former Wales team-mate Chris Gunter as an assistant, a staffing plan that would shape Oxford’s immediate attempt to rebuild and chase promotion from League One.
