Norwich City concerns grow as Philippe Clement struggles to meet expectations

Philippe Clement arrived at Norwich City in November last year with the club in a difficult position, as the Canaries were battling near the bottom of the Championship table and supporters were increasingly frustrated with the club’s hierarchy.

However, the Belgian manager gradually turned things around at Carrow Road, helping the team improve significantly during the second half of the campaign.

Norwich finished the season strongly under Clement, with only Southampton collecting more points than the Norfolk side during the final few months of the campaign.

That improvement raised expectations heading into the new season, with supporters hopeful that the Canaries could build on their progress and challenge for promotion.

Expectations were further increased by the club’s summer recruitment, with Clement receiving backing to strengthen his squad ahead of a potential promotion push.

However, Norwich have struggled to reproduce the form they showed towards the end of last season, raising concerns about their performances and ability to compete consistently in the Championship.

The contrast between last season’s revival and the current campaign has placed Clement under greater scrutiny, particularly given the expectations surrounding the club after their summer investment.

Norwich will now need to find greater consistency if they are to get their season back on track and turn their promotion ambitions into reality.
