Premier League bottom dwellers Swansea City fires coach Paul ClementGETTY IMAGES Paul Clement has been sacked as manager of Swansea City. Swansea has fired Paul Clement just before the manager completed a year in charge of the Premier League club. Clement's departure was announced Wednesday and comes with the South Wales team bottom of the standings, nearly midway through the season. "To change the manager, especially at only the halfway point of the season, is the last thing we wanted to do as a club,'' club chairman Huw Jenkins said in a statement. The 45-year-old Clement left his role as assistant coach at Bayern Munich to succeed Bob Bradley at Swansea in early January.
