Title: Manning flies the Robins' nest to join Canaries
Content: Liam Manning's last game in charge for Bristol City was the 3-0 defeat at Bramall Lane in the second leg of the play-off semi-finals
Liam Manning had been in charge at Bristol City since November 2023 and led the Robins to this season's play-offs, only to lose 6-0 on aggregate to Sheffield United in the semi-finals.
His appointment at Carrow Road has been confirmed late this afternoon.
He replaces Johannes Hoff Thorup, who was sacked by Norwich on 22 April with the team 14th in the Championship following a run of six defeats in eight games.
In November, the Canaries set a target of getting back to the Premier League within 3-5 years.
"This is an exciting appointment, and we are so happy to get it over the line and have him on board," said Norwich's sporting director Ben Knapper.
"It quickly became clear that Liam's ambitions match our own and we are all committed to driving this club forward towards our targets.
"Liam knows the league, has consistently demonstrated an ability to outperform resources and his approach aligns with our footballing ideas and strategy.

Carabao Cup second round draw LIVE: Start time, TV info, ball numbers as Man Utd learn fate
The Carabao Cup first round is nearly done and dusted - and now Premier League teams are preparing to come into the fray.

Another club will be looking to stage their own giant-killing against United, and we've already had some in the first round.

Man City hold out for £67m as Spurs step up Savinho chase
Manchester City are holding out for a fee of about £67million for the Brazil winger Savinho, who is of interest to Tottenham Hotspur. After having an initial bid of about £42million rejected, Tottenham are set to return to the table with an improved offer, although it remains to be seen whether Spurs will meet City's asking price. The new Tottenham head coach, Thomas Frank, wants the 21-year-old to boost his attacking options after the departure of Son Heung-min to Los Angeles FC for £20million. Tottenham need attacking midfielders after James Maddison suffered a serious knee, which will rule him out for most of the season, and a proposed deal to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest collapsed. Savinho is keen to speak to Spurs but remains in Guardiola's first-team plans JASON CAIRNDUFF/TPX/REUTERS Savinho, who cost City £30.8million when they signed him from their sister club Troyes last summer, is interested in talking to Spurs but his employers are not forcing him out of the club. Pep Guardiola, the City manager, wants Savinho to stay but, as he has stated on several occasions, if any squad member wishes to leave, they can do so, provided the price is right. Savinho, who is contracted until 2029, scored three goals and claimed 11 assists in 48 appearances last season. A hardworking player, he started City's biggest games at the Club World Cup — against Juventus and Al-Hilal — and is viewed at present as the club's first-choice right winger, although he faces competition from Oscar Bobb, Rayan Cherki and Phil Foden, among others. Tottenham renew interest in Eberechi Eze: Fellow Brazil winger Rodrygo has long been linked with a move to City, but it remains to be seen whether they think they would be able to persuade him to leave Real Madrid, even though he appears to have lost his place in the side after Xabi Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti as head coach. City's director of football, Hugo Viana, has been busy trying to move on some of the fringe players in Guardiola's squad. Jack Grealish has been loaned to Everton, while James McAtee is close to joining Forest. A fee in the region of £30million is being discussed for the 22-year-old. The reserve goalkeeper Stefan Ortega is up for sale after the £27million purchase of James Trafford. City will make a move for Paris Saint-Germain's unwanted goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma only if last season's No1, Ederson, pushes to leave. Galatasaray have spoken to Ederson but have not made an official approach to City regarding the Brazil player, who said in June that he would see out the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium.
