As Philippe Clement is made Norwich City boss, which clubs has he managed before?
Norwich City have announced Philippe Clement as their new manager.
The Canaries have brought the Belgian gaffer in on a three-and-a-half year contract, replacing Liam Manning in the dugout.
Manning, 40, was sacked by Norwich City after 17 games in charge, with a 2-1 defeat against Leicester City being the final straw for the club’s executives.
Norwich City are currently 23rd in the Championship table, and would be stone-dead last if not for Sheffield Wednesday’s points deduction after filing for administration. The team has a goal difference of -9, which is better than Sheffield United ahead of them but not good enough for safety from relegation.
It comes after Clement himself was released by Scottish club Rangers, while they were 13 points behind Celtic last season.
Clement said: “I've known of this club for a long time and, whilst we are not in a good moment at this time, we are excited to work together with the players and staff to turn things around.
“Meeting with the owners and hearing some of their ambitions for the club, it really convinced me that this is the best move.
“They have big plans for the future but, of course, our job in the short term is to turn around the current situation and get everyone believing again.”
Clement’s first game in charge will be a Championship clash with 16th-placed QPR on Saturday, November 29.
It will be the first time Clement has been in the dugout for a Championship club. He previously managed Rangers until being sacked earlier this year, and prior to that had been at the helm of clubs like AS Monaco, Club Brugge and Genk.
