Norwich have struggled in the Championship lately, and a report has hinted that a change could be on the cards.
A report in the Daily Star has suggested that Norwich City will consider approaching Roy Hodgson if they decide to part company with current manager Alex Neil.
The Canaries started brightly in the Championship this term, losing just twice in their first 12 league games. However, since then, their form has become a major concern.

Norwich have not won since beating Rotherham in mid-October, and their defeat to Derby County on Saturday was their fifth consecutive loss in the league, which has left them eighth in the table.
The Daily Star suggests that the pressure is really beginning to grow on Neil, and Hodgson – who has been out of work since leaving England following their disappointing Euro 2016 campaign – is seemingly on their radar.

Though Hodgson has a huge amount of experience and has often been capable of adapting to whatever role he is given, it would surely be a gamble to make such a change given that the 69-year-old has not managed in the Championship during his long career and has been out of club football since 2012.
Meanwhile, Neil was the man who inspired Norwich’s promotion to the Premier League in 2015. And alhough the side have struggled recently, the division is currently so close that a run of wins could easily catapult the Canaries back into the top six and take much of the pressure off the current boss.
