Norwich City football chief Stuart Webber says the dismissal of manager Daniel Farke was a difficult decision.

Farke was sacked hours after their first win of the Premier League season.

The Canaries won 2-1 at Brentford, but remain bottom of the Premier League with five points from 11 games.

Farke had led Norwich to promotion from the Championship twice since 2017.

"We feel now is the right time for a change to give ourselves the best opportunity of retaining our Premier League status," said sporting director Stuart Webber.

The Canaries confirmed that coaches Eddie Riemer, Chris Domogalla and Christopher John have all left the club too.

Webber said the decision "was not an easy one".

"All at Norwich City should be forever grateful to Daniel and his staff for the significant role they have played in our journey," he added.

"They helped deliver two Championship titles, many memorable moments and they all fully bought into our philosophy and what it means to be part of this football club.

"Daniel and his staff will always be welcome back here. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their hard work and wish them well for the future."

A Norwich statement read: "The club will issue a further update on its first team staff in due course."
