Norwich City have parted company with manager Dean Smith following a disappointing series of results. The Canaries were one of the favourites to win promotion from the Championship this season following their relegation from the Premer League last term.
However, they have now lost three of their last four games following their Boxing Day defeat to Luton Town, and have won only three of their last 13 Championship matches.
That form has seen them slip to fifth in the table, but in an incredibly tight division, that is just three points ahead of 16th-placed Reading. Majority shareholder Delia Smith and husband Michael Wynn-Jones have made the decision to axe Smith and his assistant, Craig Shakespeare, in a bid to save the side’s promotion hopes.
