The 1-0 defeat at fellow strugglers QPR on Monday night left the Canaries in the relegation zone with just eight points from their opening 10 games and Grant admitted after the match that he would "assess his situation" at the club.

Grant, 42, took over at Carrow Road in October 2006 after Nigel Worthington's departure at exactly the same point of the season and guided them to a 16th-placed finish last year but witnessed his side fail to score in their last six games.

Chairman Roger Munby said in a statement on the club's official website, www.canaries.co.uk, "We had a long discussion with Peter after the QPR game in which Peter said that he felt he had been supported by the club in everything that he had tried to do at the Carrow Road.

"Therefore he felt he owed it to the board to be honest with himself and with us about whether he could turn things round.

"We would like to express our heartfelt best wishes to Peter and his family and wish him and them every success for the future."

Coach Jim Duffy will take temporary charge of the first team until a successor can be found, with the Canaries' next fixture at home to Bristol City on October 20.
