Paul Clement was promoted through the Academy to become our new youth team manager in June 2007.

He first began his association with Chelsea in 1994 when he was appointed on a part-time basis to coach the Under 15s.

He then moved onto Fulham to take up a full-time position, working as youth team coach there for six years, but in 2005, he moved back across London SW6.

That was to become coach of the Under 16s schoolboy side where he remained until given his current role.

Paul, who is the brother of former Chelsea youth product and current West Brom defender Neil Clement, is also assistant manager to the Northern Ireland Under 21 side.

He was one of the coaches who took part in Chelsea's trip to Ghana in conjunction with our global charity partner Right to Play in 2007.
