Norwich City are in advanced talks to appoint Johannes Hoff Thorup as their new manager, sources have told Football Insider.
The 35-year-old has spent the past 18 months in charge of Danish Superliga side FC Nordsjaelland.
The Danish boss was lined up to replace David Wagner as the Canaries manager before the German was sacked on 17 May following the club’s play-off semi-final mauling.
Sources have told Football Insider the deal is now “very advanced” and a breakthrough in negotiations is close.
Wagner was relieved of his duties after Norwich were convincingly beaten 4-0 by Leeds United in the Championship semi last Thursday.
There had been much speculation around the 52-year-old’s position in the final few months of the campaign before a strong end to the season earned the Canaries a top-six finish.
