Paul Clement has been an unsung hero during Real Madrid's glorious last year and a half. His work behind the scenes hasn't gone unnoticed in England, though, where several clubs have sought to entice him to become their no. 1.
Last summer, both Southampton and West Bromwich Albion approached Clement about launching his managerial career, but Carlo Ancelotti's right-hand man decided to decline their overtures. "A few opportunities have come my way, but this is a difficult place to leave", the assistant stated after confirming that he would be sticking by the Italian's side for at least another year.
The offers have kept flooding in during the season. Crystal Palace - who have since appointed Alan Pardew - and Newcastle (the club Pardew left) are the latest two sides to sound out Clement, but both were hindered by wanting to bring in the Englishman right away.
Everything points towards Clement honouring his word and staying loyal to Ancelotti - whom he has worked with since the Italian's time at Chelsea - and Real Madrid until the end of the campaign. Though he loves life at the Bernabéu, he is ambitious and plans to plot his move into management in July, when he will be able to sit down and carefully consider his options.
