Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has said that he is “bitterly disappointed” for Paul Clement, who this week was sacked as manager of Swansea.
Clement was sacked as manager of the Swans on Wednesday night and the club are currently at the bottom of the table and two points adrift of safety.
Rodgers feels that Clement was unlucky to have lost his job after he guided the club to Premier League survival last season after taking over the club when they were playing poorly last season following the sacking of American Bob Bradley.
Clement has previously served as assistant manager at clubs including Bayern Munich, PSG, Real Madrid and Chelsea and it is perhaps just a matter of time before he is back in the game.
“I’m bitterly disappointed for Paul,” said Rodgers. “He’s a very good coach and it’s obviously been a very difficult season for him – losing the key threats in their team.
“He went in there this time last year and did an incredible job to keep them up. I’m very disappointed for him and of course for Swansea.
“It’s an outstanding club, the supporters are brilliant and I feel the Premier League is better with a Swansea team in it.
“Paul is a very good coach and making his steps in management but it’s the game now, unfortunately. If you’re not getting the results you’re always under threat. He can enjoy a rest now and I’m sure he’ll get back working with a top club.”
