David Wagner: Norwich City name former Huddersfield boss as new head coach

Norwich City have appointed former Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner as their new head coach on a 12-month rolling contract.

The 51-year-old succeeds Dean Smith, who was sacked the day after his side's defeat at Luton Town on 26 December.

Wagner guided the Terriers to Premier League promotion in 2017 and kept them in the top flight for a season before leaving by mutual consent in 2019.

"To be here, back in England, as the head coach of Norwich City is a huge honour.

"I've very pleased with what I have seen so far. The facilities at the Lotus Training Centre are top class.
