RECENTLY sacked Aston Villa manager, Dean Smith, has been hired as the new manager of Premier League club, Norwich City.
Just seven (7) days after his sack from Aston Villa, Dean Smith was announced this morning as the new manager of Norwich City on a two-and-half-year contract.
Smith will take over Norwich after Daniel Farke was sacked on November 6, 2021, with Norwich sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table.
"It has been a whirlwind seven days, but I’m really pleased to be back and working for Norwich City in the Premier League," Dean Smith said following his appointment.
"Clearly, there has been some wonderful work that has gone into this football club over the last four and a half years. It is now the job of myself and Craig to continue and improve on that work with the ultimate aim of surviving in the Premier League.
"Norwich City is a big club, with a massive hardcore of supporters who are fully understanding in what it means to be part of the club and its community."
The 50-year-old will take over his first game on Saturday, November 20, 2021, as Norwich host Southampton.
