Norwich appoint David Wagner as new first team coach | OneFootball

Norwich City have appointed former Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner as their new first team coach.

The news comes after the Canaries sacked Dean Smith following a series of disappointing results on December 27th.

“This is a very special and proud moment for me,” Wagner revealed to the club’s official website. “To be here, back in England, as the head coach of Norwich City is a huge honour.

“I’ve [been] very pleased with what I have seen so far. The facilities at the Lotus Training Centre are top class. We now have to look forward and work extremely hard.

“This is a new challenge for us all. Will it be easy? No. We have to leave what has happened in the past behind. If we want success, we have to be together. Together as a group of players, backroom staff and supporters.”

Wagner – who has most recently been in charge of Swiss side Young Boys – has accepted a 12-month rolling contract with Norwich.
