David Wagner: Under-pressure Norwich City head coach thanks Delia Smith for support

Norwich head coach David Wagner has thanked majority shareholders Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones for a supportive phone call.

Wagner is under pressure with the team 17th in the Championship, having taken one point from the past six games.

And he is expected to have a meeting with new sporting director Ben Knapper when he starts his role on Monday.

"Delia called me last week. It means a lot to me," the former Huddersfield Town boss told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"I've known from conversations with other people that I have the full support of the owners and the board, but I think Delia picked the phone up at the right moment, with Michael together, to have a longer chat.
