Norwich City reject Paul Lambert resignation

Norwich City reject Paul Lambert's resignation ahead of his potential switch to Aston Villa.

Norwich City have rejected Paul Lambert's resignation ahead of his potential switch to Aston Villa.

The Canaries boss held talks with the West Midlands club this afternoon with a view to taking the vacant manager's job at Villa Park.

According to reports, Lambert has fallen out with the Norwich board and has now offered his resignation in order to push through a move to Villa.

A statement on the Canaries official website read: "The club regrets to confirm that Paul Lambert has offered his resignation from his position as Norwich City manager.

"We have fought hard to keep Paul at Norwich City and have not accepted his resignation whilst discussions with another club are taking place.

"However, whatever happens, we want to place on record our sincere gratitude for everything Paul has done for the club over the last three fantastic seasons."

Norwich are rumoured to be lining up former player Malky Mackay as a replacement for Lambert should he take the Villa post.
