Chris Sutton has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Norwich City appointing Dean Smith as their new manager following his departure from Aston Villa.
What’s the story?
Smith was sacked as the Villa manager following the 1-0 defeat to Southampton on November 5.
It was the fifth successive Premier League defeat for the Villans.
And it cost Smith his job at Villa Park, with Steven Gerrard replacing him.
However, the Englishman has found a new job now.
Norwich have announced on their official website this morning that the 50-year-old is now their new manager.
Smith has replaced Daniel Farke at Carrow Road.
The former Brentford boss has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year contract at Norwich.

Big job ahead
Smith was brilliant at Villa, and many will agree with Sutton that he was harshly treated at Villa Park.
The job at Norwich is going to be extremely tough for Smith.
The Canaries are at the foot of the Premier League table at the moment with just five points from 11 matches.
