Dean Smith is back in management and his rapid return with Norwich is mixed news for his wife.
On the plus side, he won’t have so much time on his hands that he ends up checking the fridge for out of date food and nagging Mrs Smith about any issues.

Smith has never enjoyed being out of football, estimating he has been on the outside looking in for just four months since he was 16.
