Paul Clement confirmed as new head coach of struggling Swansea City

Swansea City have confirmed the appointment of Paul Clement as their new head coach.

The club said on their official website that Clement, 44, had signed a contract for two-and-a-half years after leaving his post as Bayern Munich's assistant manager.

He will watch the struggling Swans -- bottom of the Premier League -- in Tuesday's crucial game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Clement will be assisted by Nigel Gibbs and Karl Halabi, who come in from Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea assistant Clement has been linked with a move to the Liberty Stadium since Bob Bradley was sacked as manager last month.
