Norwich City have appointed Paul Lambert as their new manager.

 

The former Scotland international, 40, has joined the Canaries from League One rivals Colchester United after less than a year at the Community Stadium.

 

Bryan Gunn was sacked as Norwich boss on Friday after only two games of the season - including an opening-day 7-1 loss to Lambert's Colchester side.

 

Lambert will be joined at Carrow Road by assistant boss Ian Culverhouse and football operations manager Gary Karsa.

 

The two clubs are yet to agree a compensation package over Lambert.

Meanwhile, Jo Dunne has been put in temporary charge for the U's League One game with Gillingham on Tuesday.

 

Lambert told Norwich's website: "The first Saturday we came here I knew how big a club it was, with a fantastic fanbase and excellent stadium and facilities.

 

"It's a big club and there is no way we should be where we are, not with everything we have going for us behind the scenes.

 

"We want to get promoted but we understand there are going to be some challenges.

 

"I will be watching the game tonight [at Brentford on Tuesday] and then work starts in earnest as we prepare for Wycombe. I can't wait to get started."
