Oxford United are poised to appoint Aaron Ramsey as their new head coach. The 35-year-old former Arsenal and Wales midfielder is set to take the reins at the Championship club.

What's behind the move?

Ramsey has limited managerial experience, with a short spell in caretaker charge of Cardiff. However, Chris Wathan, BBC Wales' football reporter, notes that Ramsey has consistently been part of leadership and coaching groups at Cardiff and with his national team.

Why it matters for Oxford United

The appointment would be a significant move for Oxford United, who are currently 22nd in the Championship with 47 points from 46 games. Their recent form has been LWLLW, with a 2-0 loss to Millwall on 2026-05-02.

What comes next?

Oxford United's next fixture is against Aldershot Town on 2026-07-21. The club will be hoping that Ramsey's appointment can bring a turnaround in their fortunes. | Category | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 22nd | | Goals this season | 45 scored, 59 conceded | | Title race | 48 points behind leaders Coventry | | Recent form | 2W-0D-3L (LLWWL) |
