Norwich sack Daniel Farke after terrible start to the Premier League season

Norwich City have officially sacked Daniel Farke and confirmed that the 45-year-old will leave the club with immediate effect.

Farke’s dismissal came after Norwich beat Brentford 2-1 on Saturday afternoon to claim their first Premier League victory of the 2021-2022 season.

According to news outlet The Athletic, Farke received his marching orders after he had completed his media duties at the Brentford Community Stadium.

The club’s Sporting director Stuart Webber said: ‘In continuing to demand the very best for our football club, this decision was not an easy one.

‘I know how determined Daniel and his staff were to succeed at this level, but we feel that now is the right time for a change to give ourselves the best opportunity of retaining our Premier League status.

‘All at Norwich City should be forever grateful to Daniel and his staff for the significant role they have played in our journey. They helped deliver two Championship titles, many memorable moments and they all fully bought into our philosophy and what it means to be part of this football club.

‘Daniel and his staff will always be welcome back here. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their hard work and wish them well for the future.

‘It’s important that we now look forward. We have 27 league games remaining and a long way to go in the current season. We know we have the ability within our playing squad and staff to start picking up points and climbing the league table.’
