Norwich City have appointed Glenn Roeder as their new manager.

Roeder has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the bottom-of-the-table Championship club who have not won a game since 15 September.

Norwich parted company with former boss Peter Grant by mutual consent this month, leaving Jim Duffy in temporary charge but he has now left the club.

Roeder, 51, has been out of a job since resigning as Newcastle manager in May after 15 months and 73 games in charge.

Canaries chairman Roger Munby told the club's website: "After a lengthy and diligent search I'm more than delighted to confirm Glenn Roeder is the board's unanimous choice as the next Norwich City manager."

Roeder was given a two-year contract at Newcastle in May 2006 after a successful spell as caretaker boss following the sacking of Graeme Souness.

The former QPR captain had previously been in charge the Magpies youth academy before Souness' dismissal.

Roeder has also managed West Ham but had his contract terminated in August 2003 after being at the helm on a full-time basis since June 2001.

He had been placed in temporary charge of the Hammers in May 2001 after the dismissal of Harry Redknapp.

Roeder has also been manager of Gillingham and Watford.

Ole!!! we have a manager now the only way is up!!!! Carrrrrrn Canaries

He did ok at Newcastle, especially in the early stages of his spell. His big problem was motivating the players, something that is going to be vital for the Canary players. If he can get them motivated and working together, Norwich should be fine.

Roeder is a pathetic, tactically inept manager that will never last more than two years in any particular job.

Terrible appointment from Norwich and smacks of desperation.

good luck naarich

Sitting last and having managers such as Graham Arnold () being mentioned is desperation I reckon

he did well that first half season at Newcastle. I think he'll get them up the table.

Roeder- What a plonker
