Johannes Hoff Thorup first Norwich City press conference | Ben Knapper unveils his head coach

[@VinnyJones]

As a dane I´m so exited about this appointment. I have followed Norwich since the golden days in the 90´s with Ian Culverhouse, Ruel Fox, Mark Robins , Darren Eadie, Chris Sutton etc. Johannes is a good guy, very likeable too, and very skillful. Looking forward to august 🤞

[@QuornRat]

This felt like a smart appointment, and now after hearing Johannes speak I’m even more confident he’ll be a success here. Bring on August!

[@grumpygrandad1216]

They both talk really well, I love what they are aiming for and come across as very professional. Johannes is a great fit to this club but we need to give the whole football club time and be a bit patient and things will, I feel definitely get better. The future is looking really bright for this club. I just hope they keep Sara Sainz and Nunez OTBC

[@Charlesgraydogtraining]

Welcome to Norwich...excited to have you here JHT

[@WhiteHartDane]

I have the feeling that it's a good fit, both regarding the way that Johannes wants to play as well as promoting academy players to the first team, which is very important to him. Also, I hope that he'll give Abu Camara a chance, as he was very impressive at Pompey last season.

[@stevestibbons1789]

A part of my job, is to develop players. He sounds a good fit for Norwich, I look forward to seeing your Statue in 20 years time, good luck Johannes💛💚

[@recone829]

Really revved up for the new season, haven't felt this positive the last years. OTBC

[@fionakelter9379]

Ben has the media in the palm of his hands

[@fionakelter9379]

Johannes your english is good iam glad see ben knapper is so relaxed😊⚽️

[@Skijumptoes]

Super impressed with him based on this presser. Seems very sharp and clear in his mind as to what he wants, how to achieve it. Reaching out to the likes of Frank for advice is no bad thing either, there's nothing worse than a stubborn coach who will not take onboard external opinions.

[@fionakelter9379]

Ben is keeping his eye on the media

[@saitamasbaldhead1908]

I’m a little late to this topic but I heard that we’re signing either Chris willock from QPR or Jamal Lowe who was on a Swansea loan this season. Who should we get out of either of those 2? I’d personally go for Chris willock cause before Wagner got sacked, he attempted to make 1 last signing and that was Chris. I think he’d do pretty well for us so I hope we can sign him.

[@fionakelter9379]

I agree with ben he knows what he is doing

[@fionakelter9379]

Johannes hoff thorup has good english ⚽️😄 good luck with your new job johannes welcome to carrow road norwich city fc

[@joshuadavies2834]

I look at all these comments and get a sense of deja vu. The same people said the same about Wagner before slagging him off. It is exciting though

[@fredgame-kz4lu]

the stare from knapper at 20:40 😶

[@timmoore2598]

What stare? He just looked the same all the way through. He listens to what the manager says, then scratches his conk..

[@fionakelter9379]

Ben knapper is making sure that the media toes the line

[@fionakelter9379]

[@twinnett1714]

I think this is a massive gamble by Norwich, they have just wasted the last 3 years on the wrong manager since Farke went , can they afford to get it wrong again? I hope they have it right this time, on saying that, I do get a good vibe off of Thorup, looking forward to the start of the season 💪🙏

[@NigelCraske]

Our new manager already sounds so positive,I hope the players feed off that,our club needed a fresh start after last seasons up and down campaign,I'm sure our boss will give youth a chance as we looked so off it last 3 or 4games including the playoffs disaster,but already I've got good vibes from our Danish manager,what we do need is ball winners in midfield,at the back and upfront we need pace 2 win the close matches ,all the very best to our new young Danish manager,good luck 💛💚🇬🇫🤞🏆

[@mattalford389]

I agree. It's a massive risk. Not much experience, no English League experience either! 😮

[@NCFC-do5dj]

every managerial appointment is a gamble you bellend

It took farke season and half before his playing style clicked. Needs time.

[@christophergreen2895]

Will the board back him in with some money

[@fionakelter9379]

Ben knapper has done his job what he is paid to do ⚽️😄

[@ryanmarjoram7463]

I like the mentality of the coach. The media like to hear that it will take a year or two to be ready to get promoted. Johannes is having none of it. We know it will take time to make changes to the style of play, but he wants to develop it from the start. This club is big enough to be in the premiership, just need to get delia and the board,players,fans believing in the same thing now

[@fionakelter9379]

Ben knapper can⚽️😀 relax now he has done his job
