Aston Villa appoint Paul Lambert from Norwich as new manager



Aston Villa have confirmed that Norwich City boss Paul Lambert has been appointed as their new manager.



A statement on Villa's official website said: "The board of Aston Villa are delighted to confirm that Paul Lambert has been appointed Villa manager."

Villa have been without a manager since sacking Alex McLeish the day after the final game of the season.



Lambert, 42, guided his Canaries side to a 12th-placed finish in their first season back in the Premier League.
