# Norwich City: Fans call for Kjetil Knutsen after footage emerges

**A number of Norwich City supporters have been left impressed by reported managerial candidate Kjetil Knutsen after footage of his Bodo/Glimt side was shared via Twitter.**

The 53-year-old has been [strongly linked](https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/canaries-ncfc-kjetil-knutsen-profile-head-coach-8470456) with the vacant manager’s job at Carrow Road, with [Dean Smith](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-norwich-city-to-sound-out-smith-about-managers-job-after-lampard-latest/) and [Frank Lampard](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-lampard-opens-talks-with-norwich-city/) also reportedly among the leading candidates to replace Daniel Farke, who was [relieved of his duties](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11709/12442119/daniel-farke-sacked-by-norwich-after-first-win-of-premier-league-season-over-brentford) within hours of Saturday’s win at Brentford.

Knutsen made history last year by guiding Bodo/Glimt to their [first Norwegian league title](https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/canaries-ncfc-kjetil-knutsen-profile-head-coach-8470456) and his team also [made waves on the continent](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fk-bodo-glimt/spielplan/verein/501) in recent weeks, thrashing Roma 6-1 in the Europa Conference League and earning a 2-2 draw in the return fixture at the Stadio Olimpico.

According to a report in the [Eastern Daily Press](https://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/canaries-ncfc-kjetil-knutsen-profile-head-coach-8470456), he is renowned as a process-driven coach with a clear footballing identity, his tactics revolving around a possession-based, high-pressing 4-3-3 setup.

### Norwich fans impressed by Knutsen

Twitter fan channel [Canary Cast](https://twitter.com/CastCanary/status/1457421556519510016) shared a 72-second clip from the aforementioned thrashing of Roma which showed Bodo/Glimt playing an intricate, free-flowing move with a multitude of passes before a killer through ball resulted in a sumptuous goal.

These Norwich fans were impressed by what they saw and gave their backing to Knutsen being potentially hired as Farke’s successor.

**“Completely missed this. I’m sold. Get him in now. Him or Favre. Let Villa have Lampard. Any team that can put 6 past a Mourinho team and then draw 2-2 in Italy deserves some attention.”**
