'Manning will improve performances and results'
Liam Manning's ability to overachieve and improve both performances and results were key to his arrival at Norwich City, according to sporting director Ben former Bristol City boss has signed a four-year contract at Carrow Road having led the Robins to the Championship play-offs last season."With Liam we have someone who knows the league and has demonstrated an ability to overachieve consistently in his career so far and plays with the requisite flexibility which we lacked last year," said Knapper."We've followed his career and I've got some close connections to Liam as well so was aware of him before he took a head coach role but last year was a big step and drew us to him even more." Norwich finished 13th last season, 11 points adrift of the play-offs, and sacked Johannes Hoff Thorup in April after less than a year in leaving the role the Dane believed there were mixed messages on whether to prioritise player development over results and said he would have done some things differently. "Had the communication from the start been that we should reach the top six and be one of the play-off clubs, then we would probably have made some other decisions along the way," Thorup told Danish sports magazine is convinced the new boss can build a competitive squad while aligning with the club's ambitions."We've got big ambitions here at this club that the owners are clear about - we're all here to achieve some big things and the only way we're going to do that is with results," he said.

'Difficult' but 'right' decision to leave
Liam Manning has said it was "difficult" to leave Bristol City but that the "ambition" and "direction" at Norwich City was too good to turn down. Manning confirmed his departure last week after 18 months at the club, having led the Robins to the Championship play-offs this season for the first time in 17 his time at Ashton Gate, Manning took leave of absence in October 2024 following the death of his baby son Theo."Any move you make in this game is difficult, so in terms of the 18 months I had there it was successful and obviously a challenging time personally which creates a a level of affiliation and empathy with the people there," Manning told BBC Radio Norfolk during his first press conference as Canaries boss."But when we had the discussions (at Norwich) of what it looks like and the direction - knowing the club and the fanbase and the ambition here, it matches with me extremely well so it was a difficult decision but I'm sure it's the right one."
