Norwich have confirmed the appointment of Alex Neil as their new manager.
The Hamilton player-boss has been in talks with the Sky Bet Championship club and will now take charge at Carrow Road ahead of Saturday's game with leaders Bournemouth.
"I'm absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to manage a club of the stature of Norwich - it’s an exciting challenge at a huge club and one that I’m looking forward to," Neil told the club’s official website.
"I've watched a lot of Premier League and Championship football over the years and I’ve always been really impressed with Carrow Road and the Norwich fans and the way they get the place going when they get behind the team.
"It's a forward-thinking club with a fantastic infrastructure and big ambition, which matches my own ambitions.
"Of course I’m sad to leave Hamilton, a brilliant club which has been such a huge part of my life for so long. But when an opportunity as exciting as this with a club like Norwich comes your way, you take it.
"The aim now is simply to win as many games as possible and move Norwich City up the table."
