Norwich line up Grant as new boss Grant appointed as Norwich boss
(3 days later)
Norwich are set to appoint Peter Grant as their new manager on Monday. Peter Grant has been confirmed as the new manager of Norwich City.
Grant, 41, has been West Ham assistant boss since January 2004 and will watch Saturday's game at QPR from the stands. The 41-year-old, who was unveiled at a news conference on Monday, has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal.
"I can't wait to get started and I'm absolutely delighted at the opportunity to manage a great club like Norwich," Grant told the club website. The ex-Scotland international is a former player at Carrow Road and returns after spending almost three years as assistant manager at West Ham.
"I'm raring to go and looking forward to getting stuck into the challenge of getting the club back up the table and challenging for promotion." "It's great to be back home," said Grant, a replacement for Nigel Worthington, who was sacked at the beginning of the month.
Grant made 75 appearances for the Canaries as a tough-tackling midfielder after moving south from Celtic in 1997. "The challenge for me is to try to get a team ready to push for the Premiership.
"I know the expectations that are here and we all look forward to that challenge.
"Not only of getting Norwich back to the Premiership but also of keeping them there."
A compensation agreement was quickly thrashed out with West Ham and Grant paid tribute to the Hammers' beleagured manager Alan Pardew.
"He's been a fantastic help to me and I can't thank him enough," said Grant.
