Alex Neil has signed a new contract after taking Norwich City to promotion via the play-offs.
“I’m delighted to sign a new contract with Norwich City,” he told the club’s website. “Both parties were taking a chance when I was appointed but it’s worked out very well for all involved, and I’m happy this has been sorted before the season gets under way. I’ve really enjoyed my five months at the club, hopefully it is just the beginning as we now look forward to playing in the Premier League.”
Since he joined from Hamilton in January, Norwich have won 17 of their 25 matches, beating Middlesbrough 2-0 in the play-off final at Wembley to earn a return to the top flight.
Norwich’s chief executive David McNally said: “For us this summer it was the most important piece of business to ensure Alex had a much-deserved new contract. He galvanised the football club after arriving in January, and we’re certain that Norwich City will continue to progress under his management.
“We’re delighted that the club and Alex will be working together as we continue to prepare for the start of the new Premier League season.”
