Norwich City agree compensation with Hamilton Academical for manager Alex Neil

Norwich City have agreed a compensation package with Scottish Premiership side Hamilton Academical for manager Alex Neil.

The 33-year-old was widely tipped to take over at the Championship club after Neil Adams resigned on Monday.

Reports emerged this week claiming that Neil had begun talks with the Canaries, but the coach is now free to negotiate a contract.

Neil confirmed in a press conference this afternoon that both clubs agreed compensation and he will continue talks with the former Premier League outfit.

The Scotsman has been Hamilton boss since 2013.
