Career[edit]



Early coaching[edit]


Clement was born in Wandsworth, London.[6] He is the son of former Queens Park Rangers and England player Dave Clement and the brother of former West Bromwich Albion player Neil Clement.[7] Clement, however, did not progress beyond non-league football as a player with Banstead Athletic and Corinthian Casuals.[7][8] He concentrated on coaching from the age of 23, as he worked in the Chelsea Centre of Excellence while holding down a job as a PE teacher at Glenthorne High School.[6][7] Clement obtained his UEFA 'A' coaching licence in 1999 and became a full-time football coach in 2000, when Fulham appointed him to a role in their academy.[7] Clement also helped coach the Republic of Ireland national under-21 football team, working with Don Givens.[7]



Chelsea[edit]


Clement returned to Chelsea in 2007, initially working with their under-16 team.[7] He progressed through the coaching ranks there, working under managers José Mourinho, Avram Grant, and Luiz Felipe Scolari.[9] He took charge of the Chelsea reserve team, replacing Brendan Rodgers, before working with the Chelsea first team when Guus Hiddink was appointed manager in 2009.[7][10] Clement then became assistant manager to Carlo Ancelotti during his two seasons at Chelsea.[7] They went on to win the Premier League title and FA Cup in their first season in charge.[3][11] Ancelotti was sacked in his second season and Clement left the club soon after.[12]


After Chelsea, Clement briefly worked as a coach at Blackburn Rovers for four months, assisting Steve Kean in the 2011–12 season.[7][13]



Paris Saint-Germain[edit]


Clement was then hired by Paris Saint-Germain after Ancelotti had been appointed their head coach mid-season in December 2011.[14] The pair won the Ligue 1 title in their only full season at the club; it was PSG's first league title since 1994.[15] Whilst at the club, Clement coached such players as David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimović.[16]



Real Madrid[edit]


Clement was appointed assistant manager at Real Madrid after Ancelotti became their head coach in June 2013.[17] During his time at the club, Clement worked alongside Zinedine Zidane and coached players including Sergio Ramos, Xabi Alonso, and Cristiano Ronaldo.[16] He helped them win the Copa del Rey and tenth UEFA Champions League title, along with the UEFA Super Cup, at the end of his first season at the Bernabéu.[4][18] They also went on to win the club's first FIFA Club World Cup in 2014.[19]


After the team failed to win La Liga in their second season, Ancelotti was sacked on 25 May 2015 and Clement walked out four days later.[20]



Derby County[edit]


Soon after, on 1 June, he was appointed manager of Championship club Derby County, who had sacked Steve McClaren after finishing eighth the previous season.[5] Despite only losing once in 19 games from September to December, Clement was sacked on 8 February 2016 after one win in seven.[21][22] His final match was a 1–1 draw against Fulham.[23] They were in fifth place at the time he was sacked.[21] He finished with a record of 14 wins, 12 draws, and seven losses.[24]


In a statement, club chairman Mel Morris said a lack of progress had been made under Clement, despite the club being only five points behind leaders Hull City.[25][26] Clement's style of football was also cited as a contributing factor.[26][27]


After Derby, Clement briefly helped coach the England under-21 team, working under manager Gareth Southgate.[28]



Bayern Munich[edit]


Clement was hired by Bayern Munich in June 2016 as their assistant manager, again working alongside Ancelotti.[29] He helped Bayern to win the 2016 DFL-Supercup, beating Borussia Dortmund 2–0.[30] Whilst at the club, Clement and Ancelotti changed their usual coaching method of man marking to resemble the zonal marking employed by former Bayern manager Pep Guardiola.[31] As of December 2016, Clement and Ancelotti only lost one match during their time in the Bundesliga.[32]



Swansea City[edit]


Clement was appointed as the new head coach of Premier League club Swansea City on 3 January 2017, with the club in the relegation zone having sacked their second manager of the season, Bob Bradley.[33]Claude Makélélé joined him as his assistant; Clement and Makélélé had previously coached at Paris Saint-Germain.[34]


Clement recorded his first victory as Swansea boss with a 3–2 win over Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool.[35][note 1] Clement was named Premier League Manager of the Month for January after a successful first month in charge, earning nine points in four games for Swansea.[37] Under his guidance, Swansea won 26 points from 18 games, ultimately securing the club's Premier League status.[38] Clement was nominated for Manager of the Season in recognition of this achievement.[39]


After a poor start to the 2017–18 season, Clement was criticised for playing "boring" and "negative" football, with some Swansea fans questioning his tactical decisions.[40][41][42] Others, notably The Guardian journalist Stuart James, criticised chairman Huw Jenkins and the club's American owners for a poor transfer window, in which the club sold key performers Fernando Llorente and Gylfi Sigurðsson from the previous season.[43] Clement was sacked on 20 December 2017, leaving the club bottom of the league table and four points adrift of safety.[44]



Reading[edit]


Jaap Stam left Championship club Reading by mutual consent on 21 March 2018; Clement was announced as his successor two days later on a three-year contract.[45] He was sacked on 6 December 2018 after poor results left the club outside of the relegation zone only on goal difference.[46]
