Norwich sack boss Gunn

Norwich sacked manager Bryan Gunn on Friday less than a week into the new League One season.

Gunn paid the price for his side’s humiliating 7-1 home defeat against Colchester in their first match of the season last weekend.

The Canaries, relegated from the Championship last term, bounced back with a 4-0 League Cup win at Yeovil in midweek but it was not enough to save Gunn, a legendary figure at Carrow Road from his days as the club’s goalkeeper.

Gunn’s assistant manager Ian Butterworth has been placed in temporary charge for Saturday’s match at Exeter.
