Paul Clement will on Tuesday take over as Swansea City manager after agreeing to leave Bayern Munich for a salvage mission at the bottom of the Premier League. The 44-year-old will sign a two-and-a-half year contract at the Liberty Stadium, as revealed by Sportsmail on Sunday.
Caretaker manager Alan Curtis will be in charge for Tuesday evening's crucial match at Crystal Palace but Clement will also be in attendance.
It represents a gamble for Swansea in going for a candidate with just eight months’ managerial experience, Clement having worked largely as an assistant under Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern.
