Norwich youngster Omobamidele sorry over Farke sacking

Norwich City youngster Andrew Omobamidele admits the sacking of manager Daniel Farke was a shock.

Norwich axed Farke immediately after victory over Brentford, a surprise to the playing staff when they were informed of the decision.

"It was after the game, we got the win so it was mixed emotions. What he has done for the club is just amazing, for the last four and a half years," says Omobamidele.

"Personally he has been great, he gave me my debut and put me in the window to be here, on that [international] stage, he put his trust in me to play games at the crunch time of last season in the Championship and he's trusted me to give me a couple of appearances this season and I will be forever grateful for that.

"We had a lot of faith in him, we've all been working with him for a while and we're all very close to him but that's the nature of the game, football."
