‘Pleased to be back’: Dean Smith confirmed as new Norwich manager

First game in charge will be against Southampton at home

BACK ALREADY; Norwich have announced the appointment of Dean Smith as their new head coach. 

Norwich City have confirmed the appointment of Dean Smith as their new manager. The Premier League’s bottom club reached an agreement with Smith after a weekend of negotiations and he has set his sights on avoiding relegation.

Norwich sacked Daniel Farke on November 6th and a day later Smith was dismissed by Aston Villa. Norwich have struggled since winning promotion last season and have given Smith, who has been joined by his assistant Craig Shakespeare, a two-and-a-half-year contract.
