And Easter Monday's defeat to Millwall has proven to be his final game in charge of the East Anglia club, who have chosen to wield the axe before the season comes to a close.
An excerpt of a club statement read: "Norwich City have parted company with head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup with immediate effect.
"Assistant head coach Glen Riddersholm has also left his position with the club."
Canaries Sporting Director Ben Knapper said: "Whilst we made this appointment with a long-term focus and in line with our wider club strategy and direction, unfortunately, recent results and performances have deemed it necessary for us make a change.
'I'd like to place on record our sincere thanks to Johannes and Glen.
"They are both fantastic people who worked tirelessly to help improve and move our football club forward.
'We all wish the two of them the best in the next stage of their respective careers.'
Wilshere, who was already part of the Canaries set-up, will oversee the club's final two games of the Championship season with the assistance of Tony Roberts and Nick Stanley.
