Former Arsenal and Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been appointed Oxford United head coach.
The 35-year-old arrives at Kassam Stadium following the sacking of Matt Bloomfield on Saturday.
Ramsey's only managerial experience was at the end of the 2024-25 season when he took charge of Cardiff for a brief spell in an interim role.
"From my discussions with the club, I can sense the ambition and desire for success, which gives me great excitement about this opportunity," Ramsey said.
"This is a moment I have been preparing for over many years. I've played under some of the best managers in the game and experienced high-pressure environments throughout my career.
"I want to use what I've learned to bring a culture of high standards, professionalism and work ethic to this talented group of players.
"My teams will play with a clear identity, be built on elite habits, with a commitment to improving every day.
"I want a squad that fights for the badge until the end, and one that makes our supporters proud."
Ramsey's journey to the dugout
Ramsey takes charge of an Oxford United side preparing for life back in League One after relegation from the Championship last season when they finished 22nd.
He retired from playing in April after a short stay at Mexican club Pumas UNAM in 2025.
For Wales, he scored 21 goals in 86 appearances and played at three major tournaments, including an integral role in their historic run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals.
During his Arsenal career, Ramsey made 369 appearances, winning three FA Cups and three Community Shields.
At the end of the 2018-19 season he moved to Juventus, going on to win the Serie A title in his first campaign.
A short spell in France at Nice followed before returning to Wales where he rejoined the Bluebirds.
Ramsey's ex-Arsenal team-mate Jack Wilshere is also currently managing in League One at Luton Town.
They have already met on the touchline as coaches, last year when Ramsey was at Cardiff and Wilshere at Norwich as interim head coach.
