In as much as his step-dad is American and he has a US passport.
Born in Germany to a German mother, spent his entire life living in Germany until he managed Huddersfield.

I think he’ll have them playing well. 4-2-3-1 with Kieran Dowell in that number 10 position.
Good appointment.. new manager bounce m, in or around the top six. More for next season I would face thought.

Sounds about as German as Queen Victoria.

Only manager to win promotion to the PL with negative GD.
I don't know if that's to his credit or against him.
I do think he has a style of play that has to win to keep fans content. If he doesn't get off to a good start, fans will turn quickly.

He never at any point had Huddersfield playing well, and that's the only success story he's had.
Even when he kept them up, it was a near record low tally to do so.

Very good squad at Norwich…would expect an immediate improvement but likely to be short term…could get them into the play offs!

I liked him too.
I did too. Getting them up and keeping them up in the first season was an achievement. They had some good moments and no way did they stink the place out like we did when we went up under Karanka (for one gloomy season).

Wagner was our first choice to replace Karanka! I think Huddersfield fans were similar to our with Karanka.

Got promoted on 1-0s and 0-0s. I wouldn't be overly happy as a Norwich fan.
His teams are pretty poor to watch. I guess it's alright when they are winning (like pulis). The fans will soon turn once they've dropped a few points and not scoring.
I would be less than excited by this appointment.

He was linked with us of course, before Carrick signed on, thankfully.
I was never keen, his Huddersfield team were promoted with a record low number of goals scored IIRC?
And he's not had success anywhere else since.

They'd have probably been better off getting Wagner from the X factor

Speaking of Mr Karanka I see he has a new job in Israel
