English Premier League club Norwich City are reportedly in talks with former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard as the search for a new tactician continues, Guardian reports.

In his only full season in charge of Chelsea, he guided them to fourth and reached the FA Cup final.

Lampard is yet to decide whether Norwich is the right move for him and Monday’s talks were a chance for both parties to find out more about each other, Sky Sports reports.

Daniel Farke sacked

Norwich City sacked Daniel Farke as manager despite helping the club secure their first victory of the season.

The newly-promoted side stunned Brentford 2-1 in their match week 11 but Farke still paid the price for their poor run of results.

The woeful run of results left them battling hard in the relegation zone before they finally had their first taste of victory over Brentford over the weekend.

The German was appointed Norwich boss back in 2017 and managed to lead them back to the Premier League in his second season in charge.

However, they were relegated to the Championship straight after their promotion before regaining topflight status again during the 2020/21 season.

Eddie Howe appointed Newcastle United manager

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe has been appointed as manager of Premier League side Newcastle, Newcastle Website.

The English manager was in the stands when the Magpies played a 1-1 draw with Brighton at the American Amex Stadium.

The 43-year-old managed Bournemouth for eight years from the Championships into the top-flight division before he was sent packing in 2020.

And as the English league go on break for the World Cup qualifiers, Howie's first in charge would be against Brentford at St, James' Park.
