Norwich City: Gary O’Neil, Jon Dahl Tomasson & Still Giving Talks

Norwich have spoken to Gary O’neil, Pa and Jon Dahl Lalamon in the search for a new manager who rejected Liam Manning.

The Canaries met with O’Neil, who played for the club between 2014 and 2016, earlier this week while focusing on their recruitment process.

The streak was broken on Saturday after a last-gasp 2-1 defeat at Leicester City, and they have lost eight games on the road this season.

The result left the Canaries 23rd in the championship.

Former Blackburn and Sweden boss Tomasson is also understood to be one of the contenders as he brings Championship experience after his 90-game reign at Ewood Park.

The 49-year-old, who leads the rovers for the seventh time in the 2022-23 season, was sacked as Sweden’s boss in October after a poor start to World Cup qualifying.

Southampton were also upset earlier this month after St Mary’s at St Mary’s, with Saints and Norwich challenging for promotion this term.

The 33-year-old still retains a reputation as a performance forward, promising the young coach after his time in France with reims and lenses.

O’neil’s amning beat the job in the summer, joining from Bristol City, but the club have kept their lines of communication open with the former Wolves boss.

Onneil pulled out of the run for a surprise return to Molineux last week, with concerns over his current fitness at the club.

And Wolves are expected to teach Middlesbrough boss Rock Edwards, a former Molineux player and coach, this week.

O’Neil, who also managed Bournemouth, has been out of work since being snapped up by Wolves in December.

The former midfielder made 55 appearances for Norwich, winning promotion to the Premier League through the 2015 games.
