Waiting until 1 July, so we don't have any more spending this financial year.

We're into the new accounting period, so should have some news on the incoming Coaching team this week. Certainly, Andrew Hughes, but very likely there'll be a few from Cooper's Forest set up. Tate, Tivey and Alcock are not contracted anywhere, so possibly the first in, but I'd like to see Steve Rands (Analyst) as well - probably not too expensive to bring in (he's still at Forest), unlike Reid. And there are a couple at other clubs, who might be targeted and not too difficult to get.

Adi Viveash has surprisingly left Cov, he would be good to have in the backroom staff

Bet Reid has to use a mobilty scooter to get round on now, he was a right bloater when he was still playing! Never really thought his name and training would be seen in the same sentence?

If he does come to us, it must be as Assistant Manager. 7 years as Robins' Assistant, there must be a very good reason to leave.

Good move if so, he's got good pedigree. 

 

Everything regarding backroom staff will be announced by next Monday when the first training pics are all over social media. If it's just Cooper out there on his tod with a few fitness coaches then start to worry

If Viveash and Hughes are on their way to us - I guess it will be as Joint Assistant Managers / First Team Coaches. With their CV's, that's the only jobs I'd expect they'd be attracted by. So, no ex-Forest Coaches / Assistants, other than Alcock as Goalkeeping Coach and Tivey as Fitness Coach?

Their fans seem gutted he’s left too so would be a very good appointment, not seen any links but with how random him leaving was, it would make sense.

Looks like he signed for Swansea in June. Shame because the England keepers love him. 

[Gazza M]

Certainly hope some new coaches in by Wednesday. I'm sure Cooper can handle the bleep test tomorrow by himself!

Andrew Hughes departs for Leicester City

 

Norwich City can confirm first-team coach Andy Hughes has joined Leicester City.

 

The two clubs have reached an agreement for Hughes to join recently-appointed head coach Steve Cooper and his backroom staff at the King Power Stadium, with immediate effect.

 

Hughes took on the role of first-team coach in January 2023, having previously been the club's player loans manager for the two years prior.

 

He first joined the Canaries during his playing days, where he spent two seasons at Carrow Road from 2005/06.

 

Sporting director Ben Knapper said: “Despite all being disappointed that we’re losing such a key member of the team in Andrew, he leaves with our very best wishes.

 

“The impact of his work has been clear for everyone to see, and his energy and enthusiasm is something we’ll all miss day-to-day at the training ground.

 

“We wish him nothing but the best in his new challenge, and we’ve no doubt he’ll be a great success.”

 

All at Norwich City would like to thank Andy for his hard work and dedication and wish him well in his future career.

I’m liking that our recent signing are getting great send off’s. Shows that they are well respected and good appointments for us. Firstly with Decordova-Reid and now with Hughes.

 

keep them coming…

I've just read John Percy's latest article. Lots of names mentioned, it says Cooper is working hard to get players and staff in. Alan Tate mentioned and also someone from Forest. Hughes been confirmed now too.

[Mendi]

Alan Tate has followed Cooper everywhere. Hughes a good appointment.

The article was encouraging. Not just because it seems there is definitely money to spend, but also with regards to Cooper's determination to understand the club and the city. Also good news that we're apparently not interested in O'Hare.
