Norwich City in Talks with Gary O'Neil for Manager Position
Norwich City is in discussions with Gary O'Neil as they seek a new manager.
The Canaries met with O'Neil, who previously played for the club from 2014 to 2016, earlier this week as part of their recruitment efforts.
Liam Manning was dismissed from his position on Saturday following a narrow 2-1 defeat to Leicester City, marking a challenging start to the season with only one win in their eight home games at Carrow Road.
This outcome has left Norwich in 23rd place in the Championship.
The club plans to engage with additional candidates over the next 48 hours.
Manning had taken the role over O'Neil during the summer after joining from Bristol City, but Norwich has maintained open lines of communication with the former Wolves manager.
O'Neil recently withdrew from consideration for a surprise return to Molineux, citing concerns about the club's current direction.
Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers are expected to appoint Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards, a former player and coach at the club, later this week.
O'Neil, who has also managed Bournemouth, has been without a position since his departure from Wolves in December of last year. During his time at Norwich, he made 55 appearances and helped the team earn promotion to the Premier League through the play-offs in 2015.
