Norwich confirm appointment of Philippe Clement as new head coach

Philippe Clement signs a four-year deal to lead Norwich City, aiming to improve results as the team sits 23rd in the Championship, with his first match on Nov 29.

  • The club announced Philippe Clement as head coach before November 29, signing him through 2029, with his first match against QPR on Saturday, November 29.
  • Amid long-term coaching turnover, Norwich City sacked Liam Manning after seven losses in eight matches and 17 games in charge, due to poor results and a historically bad start.
  • Philippe Clement's résumé shows he won three Belgian top-flight titles and guided Rangers to the Scottish League Cup, leaving Ibrox after 498 days with a 64% win rate.
  • Immediately after the appointment, Ben Knapper said `We’re all incredibly excited to welcome Philippe and Stephan to Norwich City,` and confirmed Stephan van der Heyden will join with more backroom staff expected.
  • Sustaining improvement will be the key test for Clement, who has turned struggling squads around but must maintain progress longer than at Ibrox amid mixed assessments from supporters and pundits.
