New Canaries head coach Daniel Farke says "the more I know about Norwich City, the more excited I get".

The club announced the former Borussia Dortmund II coach had agreed a two-year deal to take up the role.

He will be joined by Edmund Riemer who will become assistant head coach.

The Canaries said Farke, 40, was one of the "most highly rated young coaches in Germany" having led Dortmund's reserve team to a second-place finish in Regionalliga West last season and losing just three matches during the campaign.

Norwich began their search following former manager Alex Neil's departure in March and a restructure of its management team.

Stuart Webber was brought in as sporting director in April and has overseen Farke's recruitment.
