Norwich close in on Frank Lampard as their next boss after meeting ex-Chelsea manager

Norwich have interviewed Frank Lampard over the vacant manager's job as they move closer to making a decision over Daniel Farke's successor.

Sportsmail reported this week that Lampard would hold talks with the Canaries about the head coach's job and that meeting is understood to have now taken place.

Lampard is among the favourites to replace Farke. Dean Smith, who was sacked by Aston Villa over the weekend, is also of interest to Norwich.
