Roeder was confirmed as the successor to Peter Grant at Carrow Road on Tuesday morning and takes charge of a side three points adrift at the bottom after a disastrous start to the season.

Roeder said: "I like a challenge and I am ready for it. I've been in this sort of position before and always managed to turn it around."

He added: "As a person I like to live on the edge and sail close to the wind and that's what this club is doing at the moment.

"There are a lot of games to play but what we`ve got to do is stop losing and start picking up points.

"If you're not careful the games can begin to run out and you don`t want to be in that kind of position too late in the season."

The Norfolk club have won just twice in 13 league games this season, losing their last four matches, and face the biggest game of the campaign to date when bitter rivals Ipswich come to Carrow Road for Roeder's first match in charge on Sunday.

Roeder has been out of management since leaving Newcastle in May but revealed that he had no hesitation in applying for the vacancy.

He told Sky Sports News: "It's a fantastic club. Any club with these facilities, a wonderful stadium and training ground and which attracts 24,000 fans for their last home game - against Bristol City when the team has had a really poor start to the season - is a club worth managing.

"Things aren't right at the moment for whatever reason, but it's an opportunity for me here and when the job became available I put a phonecall in straight away to see if I could get an interview."
