Watford boss Tom Cleverley has emerged as a surprise candidate for the Norwich City managerial vacancy. Cleverley, 35, impressed at Watford after stepping into management last year, guiding the Hornets to 13th place despite early struggles.
Norwich, seeking a fresh long-term plan, is reportedly attracted to Cleverley’s potential to build stability at Carrow Road. The Canaries sacked Johannes Hoff Thorup earlier this month after a 3-1 defeat to Millwall, which left them 12 points adrift of the playoffs. Former Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, now a Norwich coach, was appointed interim manager following Thorup’s departure.
Wilshere admitted the dismissal was tough, highlighting the emotional side of coaching transitions. Despite Norwich’s current struggles, the role may offer Cleverley a more stable project compared to the often-volatile Watford environment. Discussions about the future continue, with the final-day showdown against Coventry looming as a critical test for Wilshere’s interim leadership.
