The former Dortmund Daniel Farke has trained Norwich City since 2017. Now he has been sacked, although he had recently landed the first win of the season in the Premier League. Did Farke suspect something?
DAniel Farke is no longer the coach of the English first division soccer club Norwich City. The Premier League club announced on Saturday evening. The amazing thing about the news: a few hours earlier, the coach and his team had finally celebrated their first win of the season. Norwich won 2-1 in Brentford.
The 45-year-old Farke has been a trainer in Norwich since the summer of 2017. The English had signed him from Borussia Dortmund, where he coached the second team. Farke had led the then second division club to promotion in the 2018/19 season.
After the direct relegation in the following season, Farke stayed in office and managed to return to the top English league with Norwich last summer. Now the end followed.
“Right time for a change”
“The decision was not easy,” said sports director Stuart Webber according to a statement. Despite their first win on Saturday, Norwich is bottom of the table, five points behind a non-relegation zone. “I know how determined Daniel and his team were to be successful at this level, but we believe now is the right time to make a change,” said Webber.

Did Farke at least suspect that it would end despite the victory? Anyway, after the game he went into the fan corner, hit his chest and waved into the corner. According to the portal “The Athletic”, the German was informed by the club about his end after the press conference after the game.
Before that he had said: “We are finally here. After a difficult start, it’s great to have finally achieved your first win. This is great for your mood, confidence, and confidence. The boys deserve to have that feeling of victory back. “
You must now enjoy it without your trainer. Farke, on the other hand, should quickly be a candidate for other clubs because of his quite successful work at the underdog club Norwich. Also in Germany.
