Real Madrid’s assistant manager Paul Clement has spoken of his delight at joining the Spanish giants, and of how well life has gone in his first month at the club.
The Englishman was Carlo Ancelotti’s right hand man at Paris Saint-Germain and also worked under the Italian at Chelsea.
Speaking to the Chelsea website, Clement said he enjoyed experiencing new cultures and learning new languages and is happy for his wife and children to see the world too.
Despite never playing at the highest level, he has enjoyed a hugely successful career, picking up league winners’ medals with Chelsea and Paris St Germain amongst others.
He will be looking to add to that with Los Blancos as they look to take back the La Liga crown off Barcelona this year and attempt to win the club’s Decima European Cup.
Clement said: “I’m enjoying my time. It’s been a month in Madrid and things seem to have gone very quickly since I left Chelsea, having worked at Blackburn, then PSG and now Madrid.”
“PSG was a nice experience on the field, working with some really good players, and winning the championship in another country was very rewarding, and great for my family, my kids learned a new language and we experienced a new culture, which we will do again now at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“Real Madrid is a fantastic club with great players, everything is in place and there are fantastic training facilities. The people are passionate and there is incredible support around the world so it’s a really exciting time,” he added.
