# Norwich City: Fans react to Frank Lampard update

**Norwich City look set to appoint Frank Lampard as their new manager, according to [talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/980282/frank-lampard-news-norwich-chelsea-daniel-farke-steven-gerrard/).**

As to be expected, a number of Canaries supporters were quick to react to the news on social media.

Daniel Farke [lost](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59194369) his job last Saturday despite a [2-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59099968) win over Brentford, and numerous names have been in the frame for the Carrow Road job since.

The 43-year-old and former Aston Villa boss Dean Smith, appear to be the [two](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10191311/Norwich-closing-appointing-Frank-Lampard-boss.html) main contenders, and it seems as if the former Chelsea man will return to management, nearly 10 months on from leaving Stamford Bridge.

[talkSPORT](https://talksport.com/football/980282/frank-lampard-news-norwich-chelsea-daniel-farke-steven-gerrard/) shared a story on Thursday afternoon claiming that Lampard is set to be the new man in charge of Norwich, and should that go through, Carrow Road will be his [third](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/frank-lampard/profil/trainer/60805) port of call as a manager after spells with Derby and Chelsea.

Here is what these fans had to say in reply, with a mixed response and one labelling it as ‘embarrassing’. Another called for the head of Stuart Webber if Lampard, who is [relatively inexperienced](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/frank-lampard/profil/trainer/60805) and left Chelsea a lowly [ninth](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55794158) in the Premier League at the time of his sacking.
