Ex-Man Utd assistant Phelan joins Norwich

ChampionshipNorwich City have appointed former Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan as first-team coach. "I'm delighted to bring in someone with Mike's experience to work with myself, Gary Holt, and the rest of the coaching staff," Norwich boss Neil Adams told the club website.

"He's someone who has a strong connection with Norwich City and I know him well, having worked with him before when I was a player and he was coaching here."

The former midfielder has not had a coaching job since leaving the Red Devils following David Moyes' appointment as manager.

"I am delighted to have the opportunity to return to Carrow Road," said Phelan. "I have many fond memories and am looking forward to helping Neil and the team to progress and ultimately getting back into the Premier League where they deserve to be."
