Norwich have finally replaced Peter Grant as Glenn Roeder has taken the reigns at the Canaries. Roeder has taken on a 2 and a half year deal and brings his experience at West Ham and Newcastle to Norwich.
Chairman Roger Munby told the club's official website, www.canaries.co.uk: "After a lengthy and diligent search I'm more than delighted to confirm Glenn Roeder is the board's unanimous choice as the next Norwich City manager."
Roeder's last managerial experience was at Newcastle and, after spells at West Ham, Watford and Gillingham, the Canaries' board believe he has the experience to steer them away from danger.
Joint majority shareholders Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones believe Roeder's standing in the game will also prove a bonus.
Smith said: "Glenn's experience in taking on clubs in difficult situations and improving their fortunes is clearly relevant to us. He carries enormous respect in the game, both from players and other managers. We are absolutely delighted that he has agreed to join us and we are all really looking forward to working with him."
