Norwich City Women appoint Perry Northeast as head coach

Norwich City Women have appointed Perry Northeast as their new head coach, effective July 1. Northeast, 39, will transition from his role as girls' academy manager at Brighton & Hove Albion. The move comes after the club parted ways with Andy Cook in May, despite securing promotion to the third tier. Northeast previously led Portsmouth to a third-tier title and a historic FA Cup quarter-final run in 2014. He expressed excitement about the opportunity and the club's growing women's program.
