Daniel Farke had joined Norwich from German club Borussia Dortmund back in May 2017 and lead Norwich to a 14th-place finish in the Sky Bet Championship in his first season with the Canaries.

The next season, Farke and his team of staff won their first Championship title with Norwich in 2018/19, as they earned 94 points in the English second tier league. Norwich were relegated from the Premier League in 2019, but bounced back to the top flight in the first try.

During the course of the 2020/21 EFL Championship campaign, Farke’s Norwich side sweeped the league title comfortably with a record-breaking 97 points.

Across a four-year spell at the club, Farke has taken charge of a total of 195 competitive games for the Canaries and is currently 12th in the list of longest-serving managers across England’s top four divisions.

“I’m absolutely over the moon and feel pretty emotional in such a moment. I’m unbelievably grateful for all of the trust and support.” Farke stated in his exclusive interview to canaries.co.uk.

“It is a pleasure to be allowed to continue to work on this level with such a special club and our unbelievable owners, Delia and Michael. I must also thank Stuart Webber for his trust and backing, my staff and players, as well as the supporters. We have a pretty special relationship in this club.”

“Now it’s about going the next step, doing everything we can to make sure this club becomes an established Premier League side.” Farke added, making clear of his objectives with Norwich in the Premier League.

“It’s great news for the football club. Daniel and his staff have been a huge part of what we are building and to tie them down to new deals was one of our key objectives at the start of the summer.” said Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber.

“Daniel fully understands the club and what we’re about. He buys into all facets of what we’re doing here and has played a leading role in getting us to this position. We can now look forward to our plans for the season ahead, knowing that we have the future of our head coach and staff secured. It’s an exciting period for us with a view to what comes next.” Webber added, heaping praise on Farke and what he brings to the club.
