Norwich City have sacked their Manager, Daniel Farke, despite securing his first win of the season and spending 4 years at the club.
Farke has only won a game and drawn 2 out of the 11 Premier League games he was in charge of this season, and the club sit bottom of the league, 5 points adrift from safety.
According to Norwich, the backroom staff members Eddie Riemer, Chris Domogalla and Christopher John also left the club.

Norwich Sporting Director, Stuart Webber, thanked Farke and his crew for what they achieved while at the club.
He also said the decision was not an easy one, but one that had to be made to preserve the club’s premiership status.
“In continuing to demand the very best for our football club, this decision was not an easy one.
“I know how determined Daniel and his staff were to succeed at this level, but we feel that now is the right time for a change to give ourselves the best opportunity of retaining our Premier League status.
“All at Norwich City should be forever grateful to Daniel and his staff for the significant role they have played in our journey. They helped deliver two Championship titles, many memorable moments, and they all fully bought into our philosophy and what it means to be part of this football club.
“Daniel and his staff will always be welcome back here. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their hard work and wish them well for the future.
“It’s important that we now look forward. We have 27 league games remaining and a long way to go in the current season. We know we have the ability within our playing squad and staff to start picking up points and climbing the league table.” Webber said.
Daniel Farke was appointed as the head coach of Norwich City on May 25, 2017. He won two EFL Championship with the club in 2018/2019 and 2020/2021 and took them to the Premier League on both occasions.
