Norwich City has parted ways with head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup after a disappointing streak of three consecutive defeats in the Championship. Thorup, who was appointed in May 2024, succeeded David Wagner, who had been let go following a lackluster play-off performance against Leeds United. In response to the recent poor form, Jack Wilshere, a former England and Arsenal midfielder, has been appointed as interim manager for the remaining two matches of the season, with the team hoping to secure better results under his guidance as they aim for improvement.
"While 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 to make a change," said sporting director Ben Knapper.
Jack Wilshere, the former Arsenal and England midfielder, steps in as head coach for the final two games of the season, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
Johannes Hoff Thorup was appointed in May 2024, following the sacking of David Wagner post play-off defeat, but results led to his dismissal only months later.
Norwich City's struggle with three successive Championship defeats resulted in a managerial change, emphasizing the high stakes and expectations within the football club.
