Football fans, here’s a twist you didn’t see coming! Former Swansea City manager Paul Clement is back on the sidelines, this time as assistant coach for none other than Brazil’s national team. Teaming up once again with the legendary Carlo Ancelotti, Clement is tasked with helping guide Brazil to World Cup glory in 2026.
You might remember Clement’s brief yet memorable spell at Swansea, stepping in midway through the 2016/17 season. Despite a challenging run, he’s known for his tactical acumen and has previously worked with Ancelotti at football giants like Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.
Now, the dynamic duo has reunited, determined to reignite Brazil’s glory days, with top talents like Vinicius Junior and Raphinha ready to make waves. Brazil, under Ancelotti’s guidance, remains unbeaten in their World Cup qualifying journey, sitting third behind only Argentina and Ecuador.
Clement’s coaching journey has seen highs and lows, including a stint with Everton and time leading Reading and Derby County. Now, the pressure’s on as he helps prep Brazil for the World Cup stage in the US, Canada, and Mexico next summer.
With matches against Chile and Bolivia coming up, Brazil’s squad is packed with stars from clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United. Fans, get ready because this blend of English grit and Brazilian flair promises some electrifying football moments. 🌎⚽️✨
