Swansea Hires Ancelotti’s Assistant, Clement As Coach
Swansea City have announced the appointment of Paul Clement as their head coach on a two-and-a-half year deal.
A statement on the club’s website read “Swansea City is delighted to announce Paul Clement as the club’s new head coach.
“The 44-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year deal this afternoon after leaving his position as assistant manager at Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
“Clement will be at tonight’s Premier League clash with Crystal Palace, although first team coach Alan Curtis is set to take charge of team selection at Selhurst Park”.
Clement has been assistant manager to Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern, while he also managed Derby County in the 2015/16 season.
He will be in the stands for Tuesday night’s Premier League contest at Crystal Palace, and will officially be in charge of the team for their FA Cup tie with Hull City on Saturday.
Clement takes over with the Swans side lying bottom of the Premier League table on 12 points from 19 matches and he is joined by coaching duo Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi from Tottenham Hotspur.
His first Premier League assignment as head coach will be to take charge of Swansea’s home match against Arsenal on 14 January.
