Overview

• Pep Lijnders, previously Jurgen Klopp's assistant at Liverpool, is in advanced discussions with Norwich City for their vacant head coach position.
• Gary O’Neil, the former Wolves manager, has already been interviewed, while Steve Cooper is considered unlikely to accept the role.
• Norwich dismissed Johannes Hoff Thorup after a poor end to the season, with Jack Wilshere serving briefly as caretaker but ruled out for the permanent role.
• Lijnders' recent head coaching stint at Red Bull Salzburg ended after just 29 games, but his extensive experience under Klopp makes him a strong contender.
• Sporting director Ben Knapper has emphasized the importance of completing the process before pre-season, balancing urgency with finding the right candidate.
