Swansea City has sacked manager Paul Clement after less than a year at the helm as the Premier League bottom club desperately search for a way out of the relegation mire.
As the season approaches its halfway point, the Welsh side are already four points adrift of safety following Monday’s 1-3 defeat at Everton, with just three wins in their first 18 Premier League matches.
“We can confirm that the club has tonight (Wednesday) parted company with head coach Paul Clement,” the club said on its Twitter account.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Clement is the sixth English Premier League (EPL) manager to lose his job so far this season.
Other EPL managers who had earlier been dismissed include Frank de Boer (Crystal Palace), Craig Shakespeare (Leicester City), Ronald Koeman (Everton), Slaven Bilic (West Ham) and Tony Pulis (West Brom).
Swansea’s owners will be banking on fresh impetus from a new boss to lift the team up the table, with the likes of Leicester and Everton boosted by new appointments in recent weeks.
