"After missing out on the Championship play-offs last season under Johannes Hoff Thorup, the Carrow Road hierarchy initially looked to hometown head coach, Liam Manning, as the man who could replicate his top six berth with divisional rivals, Bristol City, in East Anglia. However, as proved to be the case with the aforementioned Hoff Thorup, Manning lasted just a matter of months into a four-year contract."
"Since his appointment, though, Clement has overseen a relative upsurge from his youthful side despite an unfortunate injury crisis that has seen the likes of top scorer, Jovon Makama, sidelined for a lengthy period of time, whilst also having to contend with the high-profile transfer saga surrounding USMNT international striker, Josh Sargent, who finally completed his anticipated switch to Major League Soccer outfit, Toronto FC."
"Whilst Norwich are, by no means, mathematically safe from relegation danger at this moment in time, many would debate that Clement's new-look side have done enough to ensure survival barring a major regression in the season's final weeks, with clubs below them such as West Bromwich Albion currently managerless and in a dismal run of form."
Norwich City experienced significant managerial instability, replacing Johannes Hoff Thorup with Liam Manning, who departed after months into a four-year contract. Mark Attanasio subsequently appointed Philippe Clement in November, when the club faced potential League One relegation. Since Clement's arrival, Norwich has shown improvement despite an injury crisis affecting top scorer Jovon Makama and the departure of USMNT striker Josh Sargent to Toronto FC. While mathematically not yet safe from relegation, the club's recent form suggests survival is likely, particularly as competitors like West Bromwich Albion struggle. Clement aims to retain key players to push the team up the table in future seasons.
