Norwich's Alex Neil admits he enjoyed being 'unknown' when he moved to England

By , Staff Reporter
Norwich City manager Alex Neil admits that he enjoyed being unknown when he arrived at Carrow Road from Scotland in January.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil has admitted that he enjoyed being relatively unknown when he took his first managerial role in England.

The 33-year-old moved to Carrow Road from Scottish side Hamilton Academical in January and has gone on to guide the team to a Championship playoff final.

"People knew about me in Scotland because I had been a player there with Hamilton for the last 10 years or so," The Express quotes Neil as saying. "I don't think anybody really knew me down here in England when I arrived - not even most of the Norwich players.

"But that may have helped me in a way because there were no preconceptions and I haven't had to change one thing in my football philosophy."

Neil has guided the Canaries to 16 wins out of his 24 games in charge.
