Simon Jordan, former owner of Crystal Palace, expressed his lack of surprise at Norwich City’s decision to sack head coach David Wagner. Norwich struggled at the start of the season and despite a strong finish, a 4-0 loss to Leeds United in the play-off semi-finals prompted the club to make a change.
Wagner’s strained relationship with fans played a role in the decision, and Jordan believes the heavy defeat was the final straw. While Wagner led Norwich to the play-offs after a rocky start, the lackluster performance against Leeds raised doubts about his future.
Despite the harshness of the decision, Norwich felt it was necessary to move on from Wagner. His successor will face the challenge of rebuilding the team if key players depart in the summer. It will be crucial for Norwich to make the right appointment to continue progressing as a club.
