Paul Clement

Paul Clement is the kind of football figure I find quietly fascinating: the trusted lieutenant. Serving as Carlo Ancelotti's assistant at Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, then moving on to coach Brazil, is a career that says everything about how much elite managers value him. The work of the assistant is rarely celebrated, yet being sought after across so many giants is proof of real tactical substance. I have always respected the strategists who labour in the shadow of glory. Behind every famous victory sits preparation by someone like him, and that earns my admiration.
