Former Norwich City midfielder Adrian Forbes believes the choice of Liam Manning as head coach ahead of the new season is a "fantastic appointment".
Forbes, now sporting director of US club Texoma FC, knows Manning from coaching courses they both attended and games in which they were in charge of opposing age-group sides.
"It has to be a certain person that they employ to run that club, a person that understands Norfolk, that understands Norwich and understands the importance of managing Norwich City in a certain way and I think 100% on this appointment, they've done that," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"You can take away the sentiment of him being a Norfolk boy, which he is - if you're looking at someone who has the right key values and skills to manage the club in the right way, Liam's your perfect choice.
"His knowledge, his coaching detail, the way he sets his teams up, he's someone that I've watched closely...and I would like to emulate myself with what he's managed to achieve and the trajectory he's had."
Forbes added: "One thing everyone will see is Liam's management of the Norwich City players will be exceptional, and that will hopefully be transferred onto the pitch and performances as well.
"I believe 100% that this time, Norwich City have a manager that will not just bring success, but will bring a team spirit, a camaraderie and an understanding of Norfolk and Norwich that will will hopefully lead to success on the pitch."
Forbes began his career at Norwich, scoring eight goals in 121 appearances before moving to Luton Town in the summer of 2001.

Ryan Garry is expected to join Norwich to join Liam Manning's staff
Norwich have targeted Lommel assistant Ryan Garry to join Liam Manning's staff at Carrow Road.
Former England Under-17 boss Garry is expected to move to Norfolk once formalities are agreed with Lommel, where he has been assistant head coach for 18 months.
Norwich have also wrapped up deals for Manning's coaches Chris Hogg and James Krause with the pair following him from Bristol City.
Canaries sporting director Ben Knapper has been tracking Garry for a while, with the pair having both worked at Arsenal, and he will complete Manning's staff.
He took charge of the final two games of the season following Johannes Thorup's sacking after joining in October.
Garry took England to the Under-17 World Cup in 2023, reaching the last 16, and was in caretaker charge of Lommel last season after Steve Bould's departure.
He has been working under Lee Johnson in Belgium since March but is now due to return to England with the Canaries.
The 41-year-old former defender started his playing career at Arsenal and made two appearances during 2002-03.
He joined Bournemouth in 2006, making 86 appearances, before being forced to retire at just 27 in 2011 due to persistent injury but stayed with the Cherries as a coach.
