(Reuters) - Norwich City have appointed 35-year-old Dane Johannes Hoff Thorup as their head coach on a three-year contract, the English Championship club said on Thursday.

Norwich parted ways with David Wagner following their 4-0 defeat by Leeds United in the Championship playoff semi-final this month.
