Lampard favourite to replace Farke: 5 potential replacements at Norwich

Farke sacked despite guiding Canaries to first Premier League win of the season on Saturday

• 

  Frank Lampard - The former Chelsea boss is the early favourite to replace Farke. The 43-year-old has been out of work since being sacked by the Blues in January. Lampard has made it known he is ready for a return to top-flight management, but whoever takes over from Farke faces an uphill task with the Canaries bottom of the table with only one win all season.

  Roy Hodgson - A veteran manager with tons of experience. Hodgson stepped down as Crystal Palace boss over the summer after four years in which the Eagles went from relegation candidates to established Premier League force. The 74-year-old is well versed in firefighting missions having performed similar roles at Fulham and West Bromwich Albion, among many others. PA

  Chris Wilder - Earned plaudits for Sheffield United's performances during the 2019/20 season in which he guided the Blades to a ninth-place finish following successive promotions to the Premier League. The wheels came off spectacularly the following campaign, with Wilder departing after failing to win a league match in March. Has a reputation for performing wonders at struggling clubs. Reuters

• 

  Russell Martin - The former defender spent nine years at Carrow Road as a player between 2009-2018, making more than 300 appearances. Known for promoting a possession-based passing game at MK Dons, Martin, 35, was handed a three-year contract to become Swansea City manager only in August and has the Welsh club currently 12th in the Championship but only three points off the play-offs.

  Steve Bruce - A turbulent time at boyhood club Newcastle United was finally ended last month following the Saudi-backed takeover. Bruce, 60, took charge of his 1,000th game in the 3-1 defeat to Tottenham on October 17 with the club winless in the Premier League in 2021/22. Another former Norwich defender, Bruce, 60, was part of arguably the club's most successful era, winning the League Cup with the Canaries in 1985. Might be burned by his experience at Newcastle, though. PA

Frank Lampard is being linked with a return to Premier League management to replace Daniel Farke at Norwich City.

Former Chelsea manager Lampard has been out of work since being sacked by the Blues on January 25, 2021. The former England midfielder had previously managed Championship side Derby County, whom he narrowly missed out on guiding to the Premier League in 2019.

Farke, 45, was sacked Saturday hours after finally guiding the Canaries to a first Premier League win of the season against Brentford.

Norwich are bottom of the Premier League having only amassed five points from their first 11 matches.

The Canaries have lost eight of their 11 top-flight matches since winning the Championship with 97 points last season.

With the international break upon us, Norwich will look to install a new man before they return to action against Southampton on November 20.

Other names being linked with the vacant post include former England manager Roy Hodgson and ex-Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder.

Hodgson, 74, left his post as Crystal Palace manager over the summer after four years in which the Eagles became a permanent top-flight fixture.

Wilder, 54, guided Sheffield United to a ninth-place finish in the Premier League after successive promotions from League One and the Championship before leaving the Blades by mutual consent in March with the club bottom of the table after amassing only 14 points from 28 games.
