Lambert: Has guided Norwich to back-to-back promotions<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Paul Lambert branded Norwich’s promotion to the Premier League as a ‘miracle’ after they clinched their place in the top-flight for next season against Portsmouth.<\/p>\n

The Canaries booked their place with one match to spare after capitalising on third-placed Cardiff’s defeat to Middlesbrough on Monday night by snatching a 1-0 victory at Fratton Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

Norwich have stormed straight up the Championship after climbing out of League One last season, making them the first team to achieve back-to-back promotions to the top-flight since Manchester City in 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n

And jubilant manager Lambert marvelled at his side after the whistle blew on their promotion-sealing triumph over Pompey.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miracle<\/span><\/h4>\n

“I think it’s unbelievable what’s happened here in the last two years,” Lambert told Sky Sports HD1<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s a miracle, that’s what it is. It’s an absolute miracle.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I never thought this was going to happen. To come from League One and to do it back-to-back, honestly it’s a miracle that it’s happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But the lads and that group of fans deserve it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

” I never thought this was going to happen. To come from League One and to do it back-to-back, honestly it’s a miracle that it’s happened. “
Paul Lambert<\/em> Quotes of the week<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Lambert refused to take the credit for the Canaries’ achievement, heaping praise on the people around him at the club.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The biggest compliment I can give them is that they’re an absolute brilliant group to work with,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They’ve given everything that is possibly in their body and they’ve been an absolute credit to the football club.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Also the backroom staff, I’ve got to mention that. They’re been absolutely brilliant.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Secret<\/span><\/h5>\n

When asked what the secret was to back-to-back promotions, Lambert was in no doubt, replying: “Good players. I think better managers than myself will tell you that. I’m proud of them, absolutely proud of them.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Lambert admits he needs some time for the achievement to sink in before he starts preparing for life in the top-flight with the Canaries.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: “The lads have earned the right to give it a go. Let me get over this first and then we’ll see what happens.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
