Crisis Watch: Paul Clement could be facing Swans-song

When Carlo Ancelotti was dismissed by Bayern Munich this week, various theories for why he had been rather unceremoniously dumped were presented. What had gone wrong? Had he lost the dressing room? What had changed?

One idea put forward was that he missed the influence of his old assistant, the man who helped him out at Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern.

Anyone unfamiliar with Paul Clement’s role as Ancelotti’s latter-day right-hand man might have raised a Carlo-esque eyebrow at the Premier League table after reading that theory.
