Dean Smith: Norwich City sack head coach after three defeats in four

Dean Smith has been sacked as Norwich City head coach after a run of just three wins in 13 Championship matches.

Smith publicly questioned the attitude of some fans after the home defeat by Blackburn on 17 December and said playing away was better for his side.

"I think a lot of them have been waiting for this period to happen, or wanting it to - I don't know," he told BBC Radio Norfolk at the time.

Assistant manager Craig Shakespeare and first-team coach Liam Bramley have also left, with Steve Weaver and Allan Russell taking caretaker charge of the team until a new boss is appointed.
