However, despite losing eight of their previous ten matches, Norwich have now axed Farke ahead of the international break.

A statement from the Canaries on Saturday evening read: “Norwich City can confirm that head coach Daniel Farke has left the club with immediate effect.

“Daniel departs Carrow Road having overseen 208 competitive games at the helm across a four-and-a-half-year spell.

“He joined the club in the summer of 2017, guiding City to a 14th-place finish in the Sky Bet Championship in his opening season in England.

“The 2018/19 season was a memorable one, as Daniel’s side claimed the Championship title and promotion to the Premier League.

“After a season in the Premier League, a second Championship league title followed in the 2020/21 campaign, as City accumulated a club record 97 points, securing a return to the top-flight at the first attempt.

“Backroom staff members Eddie Riemer, Chris Domogalla and Christopher John have all also left the club.

“The club will issue a further update on its first team staff in due course.”
