"Norwich City have sacked head coach Liam Manning following a seventh successive home defeat, which has left them second bottom of the Championship. The 39-year-old was appointed in June, having guided Bristol City to the play-offs last season, but lasted just 17 games in charge. His final match in charge was Saturday's 2-1 loss against Leicester City. They have not won in 11 and have lost eight in a row at home in league and cup."
"Manning leaves Norwich 23rd in the table, the Canaries having lost 10 of their 15 Championship games under him, including a 3-1 defeat at Ipswich, their first loss in an East Anglia derby for 16 years. They are now looking for their fifth permanent boss since Daniel Farke - now in charge at Leeds United - left in November 2021, having twice led them to promotion to the Premier League."
"The Norwich squad was transformed by 12 signings during the summer transfer window, but the club sold Borja Sainz, who supplied 18 goals last season, to Porto for 14.25m, and Marcelino Nunez to rivals Ipswich for 10m. United States international Josh Sargent scored six goals in five league and cup games at the start of the campaign but has none in the past 11 - and no-one else has managed more than Mathias Kvistgaarden and Jovon Makama's three."
Liam Manning was sacked after 17 games in charge following a seventh successive home defeat and a 2-1 loss to Leicester. Norwich sit 23rd after going 11 games without a win and losing eight consecutive home matches in league and cup, having lost 10 of 15 Championship games under Manning, including a 3-1 derby defeat at Ipswich. The club seeks a fifth permanent manager since Daniel Farke's November 2021 departure. Manning, born in Norwich, previously coached Lommel, MK Dons, Oxford United and Bristol City. The squad saw 12 summer signings but sold key players Borja Sainz and Marcelino Nunez; goal-scoring form has dipped.
