Head coach Daniel Farke has officially put pen to paper on a new four-year contract with Norwich City. Farke’s new contract will now run through to the summer of 2025. The second promotion to the Premier League as champions, further witnesses assistant manager Eddie Riemer, head of performance Chris Domogalla and first-team coach Christopher John signing fresh terms for the same period.
“I’m absolutely over the moon and feel pretty emotional in such a moment. I’m unbelievably grateful for all of the trust and support. It is a pleasure to be allowed to continue to work on this level with such a special club and our unbelievable owners, Delia and Michael. I must also thank Stuart Webber for his trust and backing, my staff and players, as well as the supporters. We have a pretty special relationship in this club. Now it’s about going the next step, doing everything we can to make sure this club becomes an established Premier League side. We’re in a much better position, both as a club and as a group, and we want to continue to build something unique and special,” said Farke as quoted by Norwich City’s official website.
“The main reasons are the first four years if I’m honest. My blood is already pretty much yellow and it feels already like my second home. I also got the feeling the project is not done. Once I walked in through the door four years ago the first topic was to keep this club going because we were under unbelievable financial pressure and we needed to create values and that’s what we wanted to do. We tried to develop special values for everyone to stand for, a special playing philosophy and to develop our young lads with our academy.”
“We needed to bring some money in because the club was financially in a really difficult position. On the first day, our target was to make sure that this club is an established club in the top 26 teams in this country. That means we want to play either in the best league in the world, the Premier League or to always finish in the top six on Championship level to give us the chance, if we’re not playing in the Premier League, to be promoted into it,” he added.
Farke joined Norwich from Borussia Dortmund in May 2017, leading City to a 14th-place finish in his first season in the Sky Bet Championship.
Sporting director Stuart Webber termed the manager signing on as “great news” for the football club.
“It’s great news for the football club. Daniel and his staff have been a huge part of what we are building and to tie them down to new deals was one of our key objectives at the start of the summer. We’re in an uncertain world at this moment in time, so to have some stability and security at the football club is important. Daniel fully understands the club and what we’re about. He buys into all facets of what we’re doing here and has played a leading role in getting us to this position,” he stated.
