Dean Smith has been sacked as Norwich City head coach after a run of just three wins in 13 Championship matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Assistant manager Craig Shakespeare and first-team coach Liam Bramley have also left Carrow Road.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Steve Weaver and Allan Russell have taken caretaker charge of the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As the club continues to work towards its on-field objectives this season, the board believe that it is the right time to make this transition,” Norwich said <\/span>in a statement.<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“The club will now work to identify and appoint a new head coach that is able to deliver both the level of performances required to challenge at the top end of the league whilst implementing a consistent style of play.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith publicly questioned the attitude of some fans after the <\/span>home defeat by Blackburn on 17 December<\/span><\/a> and said playing away was better for his side.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think a lot of them have been waiting for this period to happen, or wanting it to – I don’t know,” he told BBC Radio Norfolk at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday’s 2-1 defeat at Luton<\/span><\/a> was a third defeat in four.<\/span><\/p>\n

Canaries sporting director Stuart Webber added: “This was a tough decision, but one that we felt was necessary to give ourselves the best possible chance of achieving our objective of promotion to the Premier League this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

“With just under half of the season remaining and three consecutive home games on the horizon we now have a real opportunity to build some forward and positive momentum, both on and off the pitch.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Canaries had been top of the table on 1 October but are now fifth and 12 points off the top two.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith was <\/span>appointed as Daniel Farke’s successor in November 2021<\/span><\/a> but was unable to save them from relegation back to the Championship last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Farke won the second-tier title twice during his four and a half years at the helm, but on each occasion they only lasted a single campaign in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith began his managerial career at Walsall before moving on to Brentford and then Aston Villa.<\/span><\/p>\n

He guided Villa to promotion from the Championship in 2019 and they reached the Carabao Cup final the following year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former defender was <\/span>sacked following five successive Premier League defeats at the start of the 2021-22 season,<\/span><\/a> only to take the Norwich job eight days later.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
