English club, Swansea sacks head coach, Paul Clement
English Premiership side, Swansea City has parted ways with head
coach Paul Clement. Assistant coaches Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi have
also left the club.
Swansea City chairman, Huw Jenkins, confirmed: “To change the
manager, especially at only the halfway point of the season, is the last
thing we wanted to do as a club. We had three different managers last
season and as a result we all wanted to give Paul as much time as
possible to turn things around. But we felt we couldn’t leave it any
longer and needed to make a change to give us the best chance of an
uplift and a turnaround in fortunes with the club bottom of the Premier
League".
He continued to say, “Paul has been at the club for 12 months and
what he achieved in the second half of last season to keep us in the
top flight was a tremendous feat. For that, and his effort and
commitment this season, it goes without saying that the club thanks him
for his work, together with Nigel (Gibbs) and Karl (Halabi). I have had
an excellent working relationship with Paul and we are all, including
the owners, surprised and disappointed it hasn’t worked out this season.
We wish Paul every success in his career going forward.’’
Clement was appointed head coach on January 3, 2017, after the dismissal of Bob Bradley as manager.
