Thorup takes over at Norwich after Wagner sacking
Johannes Hoff Thorup has been hired by Norwich City as their new head coach for a three-year term.
David Wagner, who was fired earlier this month after Norwich lost to Leeds United 4-0 in the Championship play-off
semi-final, is replaced by Thorup.
After he was promoted from his position as assistant coach at Nordsjaelland in January 2023, the Dane relocates.
In order to secure a place in the Europa Conference League qualification rounds, he guided them to a second-place
finish in the Danish Superliga that season.
Thorup guided them to the European competition’s group stage in his first full season as manager, but they ended up
fourth in the Danish premier division.
“I’m excited, and I hope the supporters are too,” Thorup said in an interview with the club’s website. I’m hoping we
can work together to build something. The fact that they are proud of the team is crucial.
“I sense a connection to the city, the club, and the people. incredibly far, everyone I’ve met is incredibly kind, laid-
back, and modest.
“I am here to listen to some of the excellent work that has already been done, but I also have my own ideas and ideals
about how we should perform. Everyone needs to feel that this is something we do collectively, so I need to be really
explicit about that.”
The Canaries, who placed sixth in the previous season’s standings, will now get ready for Thorup’s third straight
Championship campaign.
