Former head coach Daniel Farke's two championship-winning seasons were overseen by Webber.



Stuart Webber, Norwich's sports director, has informed the Sky Bet Championship team that he would be leaving his position at Carrow Road.


When Daniel Farke was the head coach, Webber oversaw two successful Championship title campaigns before moving to Norwich from Huddersfield in April 2017.


Webber faced personal criticism as the Canaries failed to mount a second quick promotion back to the Premier League following relegation, despite replacing Dean Smith with David Wagner last season.



A replacement has already been chosen, with Webber expected to stay in his position and continue working a notice period during the transition.


Neil Adams, a former player and manager for Norwich, will take over as the next technical director.


On the Norwich website, Webber wrote: "The support I've received from every board member, past and present, has been fantastic throughout my time at the club.


"Delia (Smith) and Michael (Wynn Jones), the joint majority stockholders, are two of the most exceptional people I've ever met. They genuinely care about Norwich City, its employees, and its supporters.



I can't express my gratitude for their effort enough after watching so many members of the team grow and improve.


I look forward to the new chapter and contributing however much or little I can throughout this transition over the upcoming months, he continued. The board is aware of my steadfast support for them.


"I want to thank every board member, employee, player, and supporter I've met. I send the team my best wishes and want to watch from a distance.


Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones, the primary shareholders together, paid tribute to Webber in a statement.



They claimed, "While we certainly supported his decision, we were devastated when Stuart came to our home in early March to announce he wanted to depart at the end of his contract.


We have served this wonderful football club for 28 years, and throughout that time, we have never encountered such quality.


We are a completely different football club than the one he joined in 2017 in terms of camaraderie and mutual support.


"Stuart Webber has provided our football team with tremendous service and laid a solid basis for the future.
