Published on: 22 December 2017

Paul Clement has expressed his disappointment at being sacked by Swansea City recently.

With Swansea City languishing at bottom place in the Premier League table, Paul Clement was relieved of his duties as manager and following his departure from South Wales, the 45-year-old has expressed his disappointment at being sacked.

"It is with great sadness and regret that I have left my position as Head Coach of Swansea City AFC," said Clement in the LMA statement.

"I would like to thank the majority owners Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien for the opportunity to lead the team for the past 12 months as well as the Supporters' Trust and the many loyal fans of the club. When I arrived at Swansea City on the 3 of January, the team had 12 points and were bottom of the league.

"Together we managed to achieve 29 points in 19 games, culminating in a 15th-place finish and ensuring the club would compete in the Premier League for a seventh consecutive year. It was by far my proudest and greatest achievement as a coach.

"However, this season, in very challenging circumstances I was unable to replicate the positive results.Behind the scenes I worked with some great people. I enjoyed a very positive relationship with the chairman Huw Jenkins who I know cares deeply about the football club.

"I thank the players for their efforts and wish them the all best for the future.I now look forward to my next challenge in football management.Good luck Swansea City AFC."
