Liam Manning was only handed the reins at Carrow Road in the summer, making the move from Bristol City.
However, he was shown the door after Norwich’s 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City on Saturday (November 8). The loss left Norwich sat 23rd in the Championship table, either side of basement boys Sheffield Wednesday and 22nd-placed Sheffield United.
Norwich’s sporting director Ben Knapper said: “We have tried absolutely everything possible to work through this incredibly challenging period but, unfortunately, given the recent run of results and performances, we have been left with no choice other than to make a change at this stage.
“Liam and his staff worked tirelessly to move our football club forward. They are all fundamentally good people and we wish them the very best in whatever comes next.
“We very much understand the frustration and criticism from our supporters at this stage. So far, results and performances on the pitch haven’t been good enough. We accept that responsibility, but it’s now imperative that we start to repair the relationship with our supporters and do everything we can to give them something to get behind.”
First-team coach Ryan Garry, supported by goalkeeper coach Tony Roberts and set-piece coach Nick Stanley, is in charge as caretaker boss.
