Paul Clement (born 8 January 1972) is an English professional football manager. He assisted Carlo Ancelotti as manager at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. Clement has also previously held coaching roles at Fulham, Blackburn Rovers and the Ireland under-21 team.
Coaching career
Clement is the son of former Queen's Park Rangers and England player Dave Clement and the brother of former West Bromwich Albion player Neil Clement.[1] Clement, however, did not progress beyond non-league football as a player with Banstead Athletic and Corinthian Casuals.[1][2] 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.[1] Clement obtained a UEFA 'A' coaching licence in 1999 and became a full-time football coach in 2000, when Fulham appointed Clement to a role in their academy.[1] Clement also did some coaching for the Republic of Ireland under-21 national football team, working with Don Givens.[1]
Clement returned to Chelsea in 2007, initially working with their under-16 team.[1] He progressed through the coaching ranks there and began working with the Chelsea first team when Guus Hiddink was appointed manager in 2009.[1] Clement was retained as a first team coach by Carlo Ancelotti during his two seasons in charge of Chelsea.[1] He then briefly worked as a coach at Blackburn Rovers, assisting Steve Kean.[1] He was then hired by Paris Saint-Germain, after Ancelotti had been appointed their head coach. The pair won the Ligue 1 title in their second season at the club.[3]
Clement was appointed assistant coach at Real Madrid after Ancelotti became their head coach in June 2013.[4] He helped them win the Copa del Rey and tenth UEFA Champions League title at the end of his first season with the club.[5] After the team won no trophies in their second season, Ancelotti was sacked on 25 May 2015 and Clement walked out four days later.[6] Soon after, on 1 June, he was appointed manager of Football League Championship club Derby County, who had sacked Steve McClaren after finishing eighth the previous season.[7] He was sacked on 8 February 2016.[8][9]
