Daniel Farke talked about it being a great day for him and Norwich City on Saturday, only to be summoned to a meeting immediately after his media duties to discover he had been sacked.
Norwich felt they could not wait if they want to stand a chance of staying up, despite securing their first Premier League win of the season and the first away from home since November 23, 2019. Sporting director Stuart Webber was in attendance at the Brentford Community Stadium.
The names being linked with the job last night included Swansea manager Russell Martin and Enrico Maassen, the head coach of the Borussia Dortmund reserve team from whom Norwich hired Farke in 2017.
